This corner is reserved for hopeless charity cases
the deviant decaying minds
breeding their psychosis
feeding off the contagious blood of their fear
Ignore the insane pleas of their ungrateful eyes
Don't look at them and they won't bite
Stare straight ahead as you walk by
Standing against the wall-
blindfolded
her arms are outstretched trembling
her whispers are begging
for nothing
her hands close protectively over her soul
It's empty, let her stare vacantly
Close your eyes
wake up
