Invisible

I want explain

to have you understand

the inner workings of my mind

the memories

the experiences

that have molded me into who I am.

A little girl

rolls into a young girl

folds into a teenager

accidental young adult

anger

pain

despair

ooze from my pores

swipe the bottle

hit the needle

slash the veins

anything at all

to keep these demons quiet.

Face pressed against the window

looking in

always in never out

turned away

slow realization 

you fancy my misery

my sorrow

breathing them in

fodder for your life.

I wish you could see yourself

as I do

bloated vampire

feeding on the blackened emotions

of those who surround you

suffering in silence

as you destroy each and everyone

floating before the greed

the hoard…..

Bronze prison

lower my head

caught 

sincerely lost

a pawn 

in your chess game.
