Shameful Stares


As I walk I feel their stares Though I don't talk I know they're there. I run away from the taunting, As my eyes pour. Their insults haunting Of that, they are sure. I know they aren't right, But they get in my head. Just looking for a light, Should I ignore them instead? So I'll hold my head high, Because I know I'm unique. No more will I sigh, Because I am not weak!
