I don’t understand

Why no one will help me.

Can’t anyone do something

To stop this nonsense?

I don’t understand

Why no one will look at me.

Is there something

Wrong with my face?

I don’t understand

Why no one pities me.

Why do they all

Frown upon my beaten skull?

I don’t understand

Why I must wear a mask.

Won’t someone love me

For who I am?

I don’t understand

Why no one will comfort me.

I cry all day and night

And no one else sheds a tear.

I don’t understand

Why people spit on me.

I haven’t done anything

To get in their way.

I guess this is what happens

When you are abused.

No one gives comfort

Or sheds one tear.

People just look

And laugh at you all day

With no pity for someone

Broken inside.

Somebody help me.

I can’t get out

Of this beaten, ragged body.

I need help

So please shed a tear.

Someone save me

From this nonsense.

I can’t figure out

Why no one is here.
