Original Sin

Physical wounds

broken bones

lacerated skin

all will heal.

Thick skin of scar tissue

forming over

voluminous  cheers

pats on the back

overcoming such as this

viewed as a survivor

as one who stood up

took names

let no one overcome.

Wounds worn with rage

left tattered

torn soul

weeping pus

unable to close.

Words

razor sharp

sheer through sensitive skin

rending

devouring

falling to the floor

huddled in pain

there is no forgiveness

there is no help

I have been left all alone.

Options you had

right

wrong

do

or do not.

You chose 

to destroy childhood innocence

tear away veils

mimicking caring

tender feelings

when in truth

sinister

fucked up monster you were.

Play the martyred man

for all to see.

I saw…..

I was destroyed.

Up I stand

on hills so high

wind buffeting

screaming my truth

unable to kill

unable…..

to erase

eradicate

this sin.
