I speak out of tone
The cradle rock
Fable stone pages

One fell swoop
Star stricken in remission
Abuser, the unforgiven

Chastised, can't take flight
Hostile winds envelope
Tangled threads of my kite
Stitched into the soul
Whirling chaos, devour the whole

Numbness born of pain
I want none of this
Empty bliss
Selflessness

Black and white
So vivid

I am
Silently livid

The same story rewritten
Somehow shameful
Could be worse
Yes
Baneful
