As I had mentioned in my bio, I'm going to be posting a series of short stories very soon. Back a few years ago, I decided to write a poem per main character to give people a taste of their personality. Here is the Third. The Other two are "Lotus Blossom" and "Bedroom Window"

Cold and fierce
are the eyes
of a thousand
judgemental faces
as they stare
into my soul
and condemn me
for that which
they could never
comprehend--
so they show
their backs
in closed-minded fear.
And in turn,
I reply
with my own fear
and angst
and let myself
be judged.
In my silence
I scream for mercy
and comfort
while those
same eyes
grow morbid
as my soul
is condemned
to internal and personal
death.
