their ignorant plight

drilling the pain through the heart of me..
they’ve destroyed me.
with just a glance away from me,
and a word away from me..
they’ve reached through,
through the callous scab to wound me.
to destroy me once again....

and even though I have that self defense
of moving into my own little world,
to ignore their ignorant plight to destroy me...
I still feel the pain that they cause me,
even more than that first time.....
