Can any one , throw me,

into the pits of darkness.

Can anyone insult me,

like as if i did not exist.

Can anyone throw at me,

those spiteful glances.

Can anyone, but ignore me,

and leave me in the wilderness.

Can anyone just pass by,

and leave me wandering.

wondering, in the wilderness,

the answers to unquestioned entity

of my belonging to a world ,

which is my own.

a small one though.

but where I refuse to be cowed down..

by the pettiness of thoughts of human-being.

small it may be though.

but it is mine and

I refuse to get insulted,

so come what may ,

I stand here head raised high above these petty things.\
