Suspicion
Suspicion,
Smells like the stench of rotten fish,
Tastes like foul air, a lifetime away,
Sounds like the lie whispered from ear to ear, but never truly heard,
Looks like the person from the dark alley, who never speaks a word,
Feels like an attempt to tell truth from fraud,
Feels like my brain is coated in polish,
Feels like a nasty trick from the horror house,
Suspicion.

- by Billie, age 12
