Unsolved Puzzle
Commotion rages around me,
I lay in silence.
I do my arts,
They do theirs.
Around me they stare,
Trying to figure me out.
Soon they give up,
I remain the unsolved puzzle.
Still here they flock,
Then leave again.
On the outside they leave me,
I can only pretend not to here them.
Still, the pain comes, a crushing bolder in my lap.
They stare at me suddenly,
As my tears fall,
the bolder resides in size but starts again,
A pebble taking on layers of their scorn filled words.
