You folk who like to
say
You're woke --
All I want to do is
sleep,
to dream a better
world.
Ready, willing to
sacrifice
others' lives
implies
lack of value, of
respect
for one's own.
My deep core of
hatred,
shattered, taped
together
mirror reflection of my
self-derision.
Raised by love as pain, as
rejection
without explanation, as
lonely
yearning, turning,
churning,
denying health as
undeserved.
How insane our world to
give
such power of decision to
hopeless
battered children driven by
self-denial.
