No Escape
October 27, 2013
Walking alone,
hearing whispering.
People staring,
those girls pointing and laughing.
There's no escape.
You cry out for help but no can hear you.
You keep your head down,
never looking up.
Hiding your arms,
trying to hang on.
Like a bomb,
you could explode at any moment.
There's no escape.
The voices in your head,
"worthless", "ugly", "never going to fit in".
Constantly on repeat,
never stopping.
Every glimmer of hope,
disappearing.
There's no escape.
