No One Listened
i went about my life
around and around
happy, but
a disease is growing
manifesting
with
eyes always upon me
secrets kept
eventually
rages surface
scars
scabs
a cluttering of bruises
shame
glances only
no one will face me
i am screaming, inside
no one listened
faded time
sleeping smiles awaken
visual signs, vanished
still screaming inside
solid looks
into my eyes
talking at me
a return
around and around
eyes upon me
rage is reborn
scars
scabs
a cluttering of bruises
blood
shame
glances only
no one will face me
i am screaming, inside
no one listened
faded time
cycling and cycling
rage
over and over
years and years
no one listened, not i
the price?
till the end of time
silence destroyed
silence imprisoned
us all
