Like a normal day, as it would seem
I acted as if I could understand
the things which you command
all because I know you would destroy my self-esteem
I nodded my head and smiled brightly
Knowing that I should fake this
If I don’t I might get dismissed
With those words that were said politely

I look through the room
No one mutters a single word
but I know they heard
and here they come to spike doom
You see their eyes make contact
And hear their murmurs of doubt
You don’t know why you’re here
when all you feel is being attacked
neither from screams nor shout
but from the silence they shear
