A child without sanctuary

So unique
Different
Its not really a crime
A crime
Yet surely it is hard
Everything about it feels
As one huge cage
Friends more distant
Mental strain
Each time the sore feet
Passes the hour-long corridor
At school
There, the eyes of others looking for mistakes
Towed with unwanted
Cold little sore hands
Bruising does not seem to see
Cuticle who chewed
For concerns about the next hours
Next lesson
Break
Tries alone envelop protection
With the inexperienced arms in the corner
Gases feels increasingly dehydrated
Rooms infected
Trauma attaches itself
Discomfort to be present
Nowhere to go
Locked in bathroom
Constant battles in the shroud flow
For their entertainment
Words that burn
Persistent deeper into the soft, fragile
Body as soon falls through
Barring
Paralyzed and without control
When the mob frequency fists heard
Incoming as a steam locomotive
Against the light penetrable
Garments
No one single scream
Falls far down
The words are heavier than beaten
Pain makes it
Oscillating "between" terminus
Feels like one harmony
There alone makes the most sense
Without demons who want to hurt
Uncertainty creeps
All details of how the everyday
The evening will be at home
Is there food?
Or will it just dry crispbread
As has been eaten throughout the week
Will parents drink
Fighting
Mess
Have a party again
Will be ignored
Unwanted
Hated
But what if
They really want to hug when
Or say that they love endlessly
A pat on the back for that one
Have good grades
If hot food is on the table
Would not it wonderful
Think
If they are with and look
When it occurs
Compete with all the hearty performance
Will they be proud then?
