Over the Edge...

It’s like I’m grasping
for that edge, the knife

of life that can bring back
all that was lost.
It’s like I’m an empty

space, like I’m just an
object left for people
to stare at.

They laugh at me,
berate me and put
me down. All just cruel

games of torture.
It tears me up inside,
but I know I can’t let

that weakness, that flaw
show.
If I do, they’ll use it

against me, bring all the
pain out, the haunting
memories.
"Hello, is this thing on?"



Memories, left untranslated, can be disowned; memories untranslatable can become someone else’s story.
