I am not erasable
by Mark Maxey
I sit alone in the dark,
Abandoned by my rejection
Alone, in a room that is closing in
The air is thin and my breath is getting weaker
I can’t go on, I lay down to die
I die to my self
For you were not there to protect me
No words come easily
As it seems before they fall on deaf ears
No one recognizes my pain
I bleed unnoticed and I become invisible
No one wants to see
Repeated abuses passes blind eyes
My wails of cries fall on deaf ears
I am pushed out from my family
I am alone
But I was not alone for you were there
You repeatedly drove the stake
Deep into my wounded heart
You looked into my questioning eyes
And still you chose to degrade me
You chose to listen to your warped desires
You cared not for my own life
You locked out my cries, my heart, and my life
You tried to erase me
But I am alive for I am inerasable
I have not forgotten what you pass off as illusion
You will be held accountable
I will be heard
I will not remain silent
For silence is death
And I am not dead
I am alive
