My Dark Corner

Outcasted,
Typecasted,
Thrown around,
And down,

Left in the dark corner,
To see the world,
It's lights and colors,
Taunting me,

All in pairs,
One by one,
Like a broken chain,
My shape won't allow me to link on,

Invisible lips,
In the hundreds,
Spinning around my head,
Whispering in my ear,

I won't make it,
I wasn't meant to be created,
I was always the mistake,
The world doesn't want me here,

Rolled in a ball,
Without a soul looking in,
Forgotten,

I have all the stolen voices,
Describing the end,
Of me and the world that is my reality,

My eyes are black,
And my skin is gray,
My voice is strained and quiet,

I looked for love,
In heartless places,
And found nothing but pain,

They put a sign,
Written in crayon,
That said "you will find happiness"

It never really worked,
Behind the words,
Was a being with razor sharp teeth,

Now in my corner I look back,
At all the things I've done,
All the pain I've seen,
This is my life,

I couldn't control it,
All the events ensued,
All the hardships I tried to prevent,
All the scars left on my body and soul,

People finally appeared,
Wearing gas masks,
And other protective gear,
And fulfilled my fear I've been wishing for,

They stomped my face in,
And ripped me limb from limb,
Watched as the blood poured out,
From under my skin,

I watched in innocent helplessness,
And felt the sting of their scorn,
As they slowly gave what they silently promised,
A way for them to escape me,

They watched as the life left my eyes,
And walked back into the lights and colors,
Away from my polluted corner,
With such contentment on all their faces.
