They cry but no one cares, <br />They hug but no one’s there. <br />They laugh but no one hears, <br />And the others laugh at their fears. <br /> <br />They sit in anger, <br />They shake with the pain. <br />They hate them so badly, <br />And their efforts to escape are all in vain. <br /> <br />You know about this child, <br />You know about her pain. <br />But you don’t help or even smile, <br />After all, what do you stand to gain?<br /><br />Lexi Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-251/
