Could the inexplicable
Things I endured
Be excused
And disposed of?
Can the damages inflicted
The scars they left
Be scattered array
Never to come back again?
I thought I’d never see
The sun
Ever rise
Again
I thought I’d grow and flourish
And become someone better
But I’ve shriveled up
Blown in the wind
Into the ocean
Down to the bottom
Where I watch myself floating
At the top.
