He started attacking me cuz I wasn't paying attention. I was getting concerned, I didn't know his intention He looked at me with anger and hate in his eyes For some reason, there was so much hurt in his life. I guess he was projecting all his animosity on me The people that hurt him brought him to his knee The sound of his voice was heard all over the mall I felt ashamed of myself I wasn't helping him at all. Finally, I was able to diffuse the volatile siuation I gave him enough time to vent his frustration He thanked me because I took the time to listen, and I didn't psychoanalyze or assess his condition.
