10 Etznab
White Planetary Mirror
Murdered was my Soul –
Surgically –
Methodically –
Intentionally
In infancy
Ignored –
Untouched – neglected
Or given deadly
Double Meanings –
By age five
I was wise
Well beyond my Years
Thoroughly repressed –
Utterly depressed –
Totally suppressed
It got much worse –
Needle Tracks –
Attacks of Rage and Fear –
Insults – Incest – Abandoned –
Not – so – veiled References
To my horrendous Imperfections –
There was no pleasing
No appeasing
Nor approval
In their Eyes
I fail
In all Ways –
Is it my Death-wish?
Or just my Death
They wish?
