Why do they stay silent in the hallways?
We dodge and avoid loud obnoxious eyes,
We're silent but echoing screams and shouts,
Waiting for the moment to end loud mouths.
Our words are cold, dull, and expressionless,
Sometimes somewhat quite angry and hostile,
Only because you're seen as a great threat,
A fake, trying to sought something from us.
We dissolve in crowds, looking for our own.
However, we stick out like a sore thumb,
Alone, we are the prey of your torture,
We don't need your false pity or concern
Silence, an only escape from being judged,
Yet, in silence we still suffer being judged.
