my eyes did not fit on the people who

they were always of rebuke and not watch
I thought there must be a way
control my behavior to avoid
this feeling of estrangement
the more I tried to be
loved and accepted more invisible I
made my eyes do not fit in those
people and I do not fit me but

suicide, or to do this kind of
