10 Etznab
White Planetary Mirror
Murdered was my Soul---
Surgically
Methodically
Intentionally
In infancy
Ignored---
Or given deadly
Double Meanings
By five
I grew wise---
Well beyond my Years---but
Thoroughly repressed
Utterly depressed---but
It got much worse---
Needle Tracks
Insults---Incest---Neglect
Not–so–veiled References
To my horrendous Imperfections---
There was no pleasing
No appeasing
No Approval---
In their Eyes
I failed
In all Ways---
I became Fear
Personified.
