The sounds ring in my ear as I walk down the crowded hallway Lasers brought by others burning my flesh I try to escape by going to the only safe haven I have I stare at my reflection in the mirror I ask myself what do I see? A broken-hearted person, spirit defeated Then I hear footsteps on the tile Sprinting was my only inclination There I crouch on that cold, white, porcelain angel Squatting in my covert Right then refusing to listen to those who try to coax me Ha ha ha they say Stalking their prey is what lingers in their minds The smell of fear suffocates me creating a distinct aura I cover my mouth to prevent hard breathing Then I look to my left and right My name plastered all over the stall as if it were a chalk board Twisting and contorting like a dangling rope Upchuck appears Just as they move to other known territory I fall down, raindrops everywhere Something makes me rise Step by step I make it to that glass It shatters with one punch I fall to the floor Seeing my reflection scattered about Something is different My trembling hands put the pieces together The puzzle completed, my life restored to its glory
