Somewhere in nowhere
I am peaches turned bad
Rotting inside my skin;
maggots devouring
I am the the paper casing wrapped around fast food
Designed for discarding
I am a burned out car
Battered and used;
Abandoned somewhere
In nowhere
Purpose incinerated
I am the mud trodden into carpets
After galavanting in the forest
Drenched in germs and bleeding stains
I am a child beaten
Damaged and tainted;
Incapable of ever being the same
I am dumbbell weights
Down to my bones
Shamed
I am unheard screams
Desperate
Broken
A raging flame.
I am the ledge my toes balance upon
I am the ten foot fall that splits my skin
I am the pavement that shatters my skull
I am living death
Can’t you detect it’s scent?
