Persona

Left to fend for my own pieces of bread,

Do those who push me, wish for me dead?,

Alone I accept it, how can I not?,

What choice do I have?, I'm seemingly caught,

Holding weight on my shoulders, no one should bear,

Doesn’t anyone hear me?, doesn’t anyone care?,

Hold it all in, I am silently screaming,

Yet on the surface, my persona is gleaming.
