Hate, Betrayal, Shame, Deceit;
Why must all of these things revolve around me?
Constant anger, confusion, and jealousy,

People keep bringing all of this crap around me,
People just leave me alone please.

Without a smile or a wave.
Blaming our jobs,
Our families, our dogs.
Nameless, not faceless,
Each of us
