A shrug

A simple brush off

A slight bristle

Only visible

To those whose eyes

Work best in hind sight

Not that they care

Or that it bothers them

But you feel it

You sense it

You see it

Whether it is directed to you

Or project from you

A defense mechanism

Triggered by the malice

And hate

The judgement in this world

Is it your fault?

Or is it a product of your enviroment?

Are you the only one?

To suffer a loneliness forced on you

By the cruelty of your fellow man

To endure the burden caused

By indifference

Feigned or otherwise

As written by Shakespear

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars…"
