Eyes and Lies

by elise   Feb 25, 2005


People stare and whisper,
as they watch my moves and face,
they say to each other desperate lies,
and made me feel out of place.

I wish that they would stop,
and just let me live my life,
but they keep on whispering and lying,
every word acts like a knife.

Their eyes reveal no pity,
as I stand upon the edge,
I never want to come back here,
to this place that I sure dread.

This is where I've lived,
but belong here I do not,
for my feelings hurt is their own food of happiness,
and my soul they have forgot.

Sometimes I thought about hatred,
and the words back to them as I may,
but I didn't want to be like them,
so I looked towards another day.

Their jokes kept on coming,
but I never saw what was wrong,
I never knew what they saw in me,
that made me suffer so long.

Now I sit here thinking,
and pondering here about them all,
when I stood in front of them for years,
and they made me feel so small.

I hate them all for throwing,
their comments and lies the same,
and now I don't have to see them,
but I continue to feel the pain.

They never let me live,
they always left me out,
of their social life and fun and games,
I stood next to them to pout.

They pretended not to notice,
I stood up in their face,
and now I understand what their problem was,
and I stood upon my base.

Their home was just an unwelcoming site,
and I'm glad I ran away,
for being with them all the time,
made me pray for a different way.

They can stay the way they are,
those girls that let their eyes and lies spread,
and it's because of them they know,
that I stood back from them and fled.
