I see some thing in the distance
So dark so cold so mean
I see anger in its eyes
Its heard what is not said and seen the unseen

It’s heard the hateful words
Seen the scornful glares
It knows the torrid history
And alone the pain it bears

How long can people ignore it?
How long can they say all is fine?
How long can it bear the pain?
How long can it keep its head high?

The thing begins to crumble
I can see the animosity in its eyes
The anger the pain the hatred
In fear and shame it lies

I push my self forward
For reasons I yet do not know
The closer I begin to get
The faster I begin to go

I need to know what it is
I need to see what it sees
And as I remove the veil of mystery
The thing I fear is me
