SLAM!

I remember before the pain

when I was like everyone else

before I became a leper

what about me changed?

CRACK!

Another day of jostling and names

hateful words cutting me to size

coursing into my blackened soul

why do I listen to what they say?

BANG!

Crimson flows from a new wound

as the laugh at my salty tears

these are the faces of my fears

do they know what they are doing?

SMACK!

Can't they just leave?

Can't I disappear?

Why do they do this?

What is wrong with me?

                                                  I can't do this anymore.
