My Great Escape
I can see them stare,
Though they don't notice,
I can hear their laughter,
But they do not care.
They think I'm a freak,
Because I'm not like them,
They treat me as an outsider,
It makes me see a future that's pretty bleak.
I've heard names of so many diseases,
Been tested and negative on all,
I know it's just a tremor,
But none of the pain it eases.
I'm not a freak it's just a little shake,
Sometimes more pronounced,
Other times you wouldn't even see,
But all their ridicule makes my heart break.
All their hurtful actions hang on me like a drape,
But none of them give a toss,
I have a place where I can get away,
My music and my poetry are my great escape!!
