They
They tread on your colorful soft petals
So you can’t bloom so proudly beautiful
They launch contempt through their eyes
So you’ll never know and never try
They surround you with countless fierce bodies
So you seemed small and helpless and weak
They stand and they stared and they smiled
So you left where you belonged like an innocent child
They blatantly mocking your cowardice
So you would escape like frightened mice
They judge you’re body and background, behind you
So you became an exhibit while you had no clue
They laughed
They pointed
They weighted your value
They aimed
They spread
They’re proud, by lowering you
Well,
Like circus animals
Amusing their self
With childish games
Well,
Not a piece of gold would be tarnished by sordid dust
They never stopped sparkling
Even if covered by dirt
They never stolen my light
It always belonged to me
