You hide, while they seek you out. You play your little hopscotch games, thinking no one can see you. You ride and ride, you go round and round, hoping to disappear in the air, praying that you’ll be safe from their judging cruel eyes. You dance and dance, you laugh and laugh, hoping and praying that they will one day understand you. You try living in your frail little world, hoping their piercing eyes won’t burst it out. You peek around from time to time, wishing that they would ever let you live in  peace. You cry and cry, hoping that they would for once believe in your tears. You close your eyes again and again, trying to make them all disappear. You sigh all over again, regretting every single day. You sit still and very still, waiting for all of this to be over. You keep staring at your empty hands, with despair, in silence, you keep hoping against all odds, you keep praying. Tears streaming your face, you keep your silence, you stay put, a part of you still hoping, the other just dying away. Half of you sweating in the damp of the cold, the other part melting away in their scorching hatred. All gone wrong, all gone astray, you think again and again, you frown again and again, you cry again and again. Hiccups and tears choking you , you realize again and again that you really are playing with fire, aren’t you?!
