People stare around her,
as she looks down
In her mind, tunneling underground
hiding from the public, the lime and spot light
When the crowd, in a uproar
She silently dies down
to the place
She calls home....in a far away town

They call her names,
point and stare
laugh, curse and throw
All She wanted was a little peace
so every thing could slow
down
back to how they were
Before She moved away

now, it is far too late
for it is another day
