Poems

Watching

People question my silence

They even mock it

She never talk

She's not going to answer

Oh, the words they spit

I'm quiet because I'm watching

Observing those who never run

out of money and brag about it

Observing those who say they are nice to everybody

But are gossipping like it's their drug

Observing those who slander Jews

when learning about the Holocaust

For a quick, cheap laugh

All while never knowing the girl

Who's lost in her thoughts,

To escape dreaded reality,

Is poor

Bullied

And a descendant from a Jew

And she thinks

The difference between a victim and survivor

is perspective
