Cry Alone
March 9, 2011
I sit in the constraints,
The boundaries of my desk
Watching Faces….
I see them too much
Their voices to familiar
Their sneers too predictable.
Why won’t they look away,
Pretend that I’m not there,
Go on without a word?
I parted my lips,
To speak my mind
Only to receive laughter.
Why can’t they see
The words sting
The jeers burn
I want to cry
I want to scream
I want to run away
But I won’t.
I won’t sink to that level
I just keep my head raised
And slowly they go away…
But will the pain?
