alone and afraid

In the darkness, he sits...waiting.

He is alone.

He is afraid to move..afraid to breathe..

Afraid to go outside, but afraid to stay inside.

He is afraid of the people who laugh and jeer.

In the room, it is as quiet as death.

No noise except for his beating, broken heart, and his erratic, sob stricken breathing.

He screams,"Why do you do this to me?! I'm just like you!!!"

But nobody answers because nobody cares.

"i'm no different...just like you..", he says between sobs of anger and sadness.

So in the darkness, he sits waiting .

Waiting for someone to come.

Someone who cares.

He sits, alone...afraid.
