My Struggle
I walk alone, my head hanging down;
And hang in shame it does.
The words spoken crush
My already shattered soul.
They get power and strength
From my previeled weakness;
It's what keeps them strong;
It's what makes me weak.
Their violence gives me silence;
It makes them proud,
The silence I protrude
Speaks louder than any scream.
They draw a crowd, with the fun
They make of me;
The crowd goes loud;
Striving from the bad.
It will give them a high;
I am their drug.
They make me low;
They are my weakness.
