I've been harassed
By too
Many people;
All people!
And I remember everything;
Even the dreams
I was awake!
I won't let them alter
My memories
I know well
What glitches are
I know everything
I don't always look
But I always know
Where to look

I was homeless;
I was abused;
I had
Motion sickness
Where was
I supposed
To be?
How was
I supposed
To be?
When I wasn't walking
I was
In a corner
All alone
Quietly resting
For a little while
And they came
To attack me
Is there
Any fairness
To see
The true reality?

Is this
How you treat
An abused homeless?
A suffering
Vulnerable human
With motion sickness?
What kind
Of a person
Would oppose
A homeless
This way?
A moral human
Wouldn't show
This kind
Of hate
With exaggerated lies
Against a homeless
