people afraid to walk near him
poor thing
they turn their heads to look away
poor thing
they give him looks of disgust and hate as if they know his whole life story
poor thing
He acts indifferent to the stares
poor thing
he walks with his head held high
poor thing
he will go home to another beating
poor thing
lock himself in his room
poor thing
maybe this time the drugs will take their toll on his life
poor thing
poor thing
goodbye, poor thing
