Whimper

A fear I try to hide engrossed my existence
As people watched me go by
Brows wove themselves together
My eyes growing wide
Maybe my lip jutted out
And I tried to suppress
The high pitch whimper
That threatened my throat
But still it escaped
A cry for help
That I would not receive
For my fear was pointless
An un-noted event
But that yelp still lingers in my throat
And I wish I could just forget.
