I Am The Background To My Own Foreground Merged
(An Acrostic Poem for the "Background Competition)
I Am The Background To My Own Foreground Merged
Images merge like an hallucinations on top of a mirage
At the conjuncture to the truth and lies
Mentalist have such wet dreams that they are parched
The reality is hidden in an unreal fashion
Hidden behind many onion skins and layers
Ernest divination is nigh on impossible
But to be honest my background is sadness
Actively tortured and abused as a child
Church paedophile swap meet
Knuckled candy kisses on clergies members
Given prayer and the laying on of hands in private places
Recurring violence for violence sakes
Open heart surgery with innocence removed
Underlying guilt trips to seaside places
No rescue, no salvation and no prayers answered
Dreams of death and desires of my demise unbounded
To this apparent background
Only this is missing; a foreground
My adult hood paints a picture
Yet unfinished in its final hours
Only repeated like rich food and alcohol
Welcome to the greyness pixelated
No colours in high definition
Foreground is laid over background with surprising results
Only the actors are different but the abuse remains similar
Registering abuses covering the rest of adulthood
Easily takes on the victims role, wish, rinse and repeat
Generating adult abuses of parenthood, victimised in reverse
Readily with ease I was abused as a child and an adult
Offered nought in marriage her guilty of so many affairs
Unfortunately love came to late to change the narrative
Needlessly I've been broken by my past and future
Death and the desire for death have not left me
Methinks the only purpose in life was my suffering
Endless is the hurt I have undergone
Right and wrong have very little to do with it
Genuinely my background is merging to my foreground
Endless is the suffering that comes from the composite image
Death is the only constant in my life, framed to perfection
