The Misunderstood Loner

My Phobia

I can't talk in front of people

Without stuttering

People get bored

And they start muttering

For a girl who

Cannot speak

Is a girl

Who is too weak

I am scared of people,

What a strange fear

If I mess up

I believe they'll cheer

Because people

Are cruel

Don't even get me started

On the ones at school

They all enjoy laughing

At the pain people emit

Although they are blamed for such things

They will never admit

So I have a phobia

Of giving my trust

Because what if

They turned it all to rust?

I don't want to be with people

They scare me too much

So I stay away from all

I don't want to feel your touch

Please leave me alone

I know you mean good

But I don't want people to hurt me

Because I know they could
