I nervously look around,
not knowing where to go.
What have I gotten myself into?
Where the hell am I?
Unfamiliar faces glare at me,
their stares,
like knives piercing at my back.
I'm lost in a maze of hallways,
trying to find my way back home.
Seeing the frightened look on my face,
they begin laugh.
They can sense fear.
I try to be strong,
and continue forward.
It's no use.
I'm trapped in an alienated place.
I don't know where to turn.
Everything is so different here,
unlike anything I've ever seen.
I look down at myself,
I'm nothing like these people.
There's no way that I'd ever fit in.
They start crowding around me,
all alike.
The pale white faces,
deathly red lips,
and beetle-like eyes.
Their long, pointy fingers
reach out to me.
I scream.
No.
Leave me alone.
I start to run,
not caring where I go.
I need to get out of here.
I hate this place.
How I long, to just get a glimpse of someone I know.
Someone I recognize.
I'm still running.
Haven't I just passed this place?
Oh no.
I'm running in circles.
There's no way out.
Defeated, I slow down.
What's the point?
I've lost.
I sink to the ground,
icy tears
streaking my rosy cheeks.
How could I have ever come here?
It had looked so good then.
What did I see in this place?
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Not at all, what I had expected.
There's so much more to things,
than what meets the eye
I sit there for a long time.
My breathing slows down.
I feel so weak.
I don't have the strength to raise my head,
and see the thousands of faces,
cruelly laughing.
Never in my life,
had I ever felt
so truly alone.
