This Place

Loud noises
Coming from every side
Whispers going throughout the class
The walls are white
No body to talk to
Hearing people talk about you
Don’t  turn your head
Just keep looking forward
Its too late
They know you heard them
There goes another person
Into there little group
Feeding them new information
Rumors that aren't even true
I did NOT go to an insane asylum
I did NOT get arrested
Why are you saying these things
Don’t you know I have feelings to
My heart starts to break
A tear forming in my eye
Come on clock hurry up
Turn the time when I get out of this place

You know what I never understood until my late 40's and even now I have a hard time adjusting my actions to? Us crying makes them happy, we feed their nasty hunger with our emotions. Don't let them feed off of you. Don't give them 1 bit of emotion. Light & Love
