abysmal feelings rise & fall
society hurts a shattered soul
I hate connection,
proximity burns
victims stay victims,
till that victim learns;
all you have is yourself,
scarred yet starred-
with glints of hope
amid the tar
hurts to know no one
understands
trivial matters
flare up in fiery lands -
of hatred subtly
thrown into your heart
like an eternal hearth, none
cares to help put out
hurts to know the perpetrator
gets more sympathy
than the one who's crying
at his torn dignity
