Who Are They?

-photo from deviantart.com-

People judge and critique;
The curse at the tip of their tongues

Their words cut, it just hurts.
Their thoughts taunt; it haunts.

How to move on and how to live;
in this superficial disbelief.

Too scared to face the world,
What would they think?

The painful stares and cynical laughs
Enough to kill

Empathize they never will

Fear and rejection settles in
I’m just too afraid

Too afraid to go out
Too afraid to be myself
Too afraid to speak up
Too afraid to be confident
Too afraid to let loose
Too afraid to face the people

They’ll never understand
Nothing mattered more in this plastic world

No one can tell the difference between the real and the fake
The masks they donned upon their scarred faces

Who are they to judge or comment?
Who are they to hurt us?
Who are they to interfere?
Who are they to create this curse?

Who are they?

too afraid,
