I'm thrown into the dirt,
I'm tossed into the mud.
I hold on to nothing at all,
attempting to survive.
Trampled upon by haterds' feet.
My blood is intertwined between the soles of their shoes.
They walk all over me, instilling in my mind their right to supeiroity.
I hide behind my soiled hands, and mind my place, in the unspoken chain of popularity.
sad eyes, that used to stare to the ground, are wandering casually about.
Along the horizon.. searching for escape.
Hoping for a new start, looking for a way.
To be washed clean by from this utter humilation.

I really really love this one!!
A couple great lines are, "instilling in my mind their right to superiority"
And, "I hide behind my soiled hands"
Excellent poem!!
