Hate Reflecting in My Eyes

hate pierces through my heart
judgments extend from all sides
assumptions are made
names are spoken
and a part of me slips away

my face reflects pain
i blink, desperate to hide the tears
quivering lips keep me mute
silence governing the unsettled feelings

is there no place for protection
will no one reach out
offering another chance
for even as my reflection stares back at me
i find no peace, no solace there
