The darkness that surrounds me
battles my fair skin.
I stand out, not meant to be here
but aware of the reasons.
Others wander around me, ignorant of my story
they pierce my soul with pointed fingers.
They blame, scold, and criticize me.
No one reaches out, no one to lead me through this dark abyss
of life.
I am not like them. I am conscious to what I have done.
My actions have lead me down this path,
my thoughts, the war within my mind.
I continue to walk, lacking regret
as the light fades behind me.
