Sweat Shop

Running, grasping, chasing, letting go
Hearts are beating
Tears are shed
Pain is inflicted

Everywhere you turn
Faces are looking at you
Summing up your worth
By a glance

Striving and begging, screaming and yelling
Sobs are ignored
Death is accepted
Pain is desired

Every time you get up
Invisible hands
Prevent you from standing
And force you back down

Sitting, staring, working, hiding
Lips are moving
Eyes are dry
Pain is no more
