NOT A CRIME


NOT A CRIME

It pains
Me
To 
Think
And see
How you
Look at me
Judgingly.

I've done no
Wrong
Only tried
To live
Hurt free
In this 
World!

You point
An accusing
Finger
And say words
That
Long after
Spoken
Linger...

They have 
Carved
A niche
In my soul 
Like bad
Love songs
They play
On repeat
On their
Own.

I listen
And quietly
Sigh
I'm not
High!

When will 
You see
I'm not
A drug
Junkie.

I'm just
Trying
To be
Pain free.

It's not
A crime
You know
For I haven't
Broken
Any laws!
