Silence

The silence hits me hard

like a brick to a double glazed window,

it shatters the protective layers.

My scarred face reflecting

in its many shards, it reminds me that I’m…

a burst balloon, a hungry vulture feeding,

a torn bed sheet, maggots on a rotting corpse.

Never liked by society

Never was

Never will be.
