As i walk down the street people stare,
stare as if they know what happened.
what really happened is no concern of theirs.
their only thoughts are that I am guilty.
guilty for things unforgivable things.
worse than you can imagine.
nightmares dont compare to the reality of their thoughts.

In reality i am no diffrent than them
we are the same two peas in a pod
i have feelings, hope and dreams
I love and hate
if they had any idea what happened
they would be to scared to leave
to scared to breathe

I wish they would understand
slowly realise that i could
could not do those horrific things
they do not understand
they just blame me
they don not trust me
they watch every move i make

As i walk down the street people stare,
stare as if they know what happened.
what really happened is no concern of theirs.
their only thoughts are that I am guilty.
guilty for things unforgivable things.
worse than you can imagine.
nightmares dont compare to the reality of their thoughts.
