Scar Tissue


 

Scar Tissue

 

Just as if I were falling down an endless black hole

Such darkness, such boundless obstacles

Your comments not only created such agonizing pain

But they murdered the traits that make me an individual


 

Kill my un-cherished Soul

Slaughter my creativity 

Like a delicate piece of glass

I shatter when you let go

I know when I am no longer visible

You’ve made your point

What more do you want from me?

To swallow bullets?

Your plan was only a slight accomplishment

Those words are nothing but fabricated lies

My past opponent

My past beloved

You no longer demolish my existence.
