After years of silence,
I realised
That my kin
No longer inhabited
My world.
I was discarded,
Mentally neglected,
And...
Cast aside.
My tears rang
Like tinnitus,
Disturbing their peace
And pride.
The familial stench
Of shame
Slowly infected
Them all.
A broken brother,
Ravaged by life,
Consumed
By fate.
Lost to the embers
Of time.
