As if into paper
The ink seems to seep in
Into my skin
Deeper and deeper

The ink forms the words
I shall never forget
Even if I tried
To wipe the ink away

It seeps deeper day after day

At first, it's fine
I shrug it off
I laugh along
At their joke

Soon it burns
Burns my skin
Burns my being
Burns within

The only emotions
That come forth
Are sadness
And anger

I try to communicate
But they laugh it off
Pick up the ink
And write, and write, again
