I walk down the pavement
Like any other person right?
Then why is it that I'm treated
As if I carry the plague?

Is it because I sit alone at lunch
Or because I bury myself with books
Perhaps because I practically live in the library
Without a phone or Facebook to make friends

So I walk along the sidewalk
Going everywhere but nowhere
To forget yet only to remember
Because no one can escape

How I wish I could melt
And sink into the cement
To be invisible to my attackers
Who left me broken

Who finished the job
By spreading the shards
So that I can never be repaired
By gentle caring hands

That is why I walk
Along forgotten roads
To everywhere but nowhere
To forget only to remember

To try to escape
Along with the others
However few who know
What it's like to be truly broken
