embarrassed and humiliated 
i cry on the floor
nothing is said
but they stand around me
staring

vultures waiting for me
to pick myself up off the ground
and then the next one will take me down

with a diminishing shelter
i have no place to hide

his intentions become known
the hatred is stifled again
i want to say things 
i want to cause harm

they expect the epitome of charm
and i can't live up to that
he wanted me for nothing
but he knew 
they all knew

and i was left in the dark
