forget

Darkness Bane, my hurt is insane
curled into a ball, I balk
With shivers of madness, I tremble

Sleek with regret, I stutter
needful cage of a somber tone
Releasing these feelings, necessary

My keenness can be felt deeply
If you listen to the silent weep
Cloistered vision, I'm hard on myself

There is no value
incessant laughter says I'm a failure
unkempt rebellion I slack
Where I should be taught

speaking expletives into being
even those not heard of
because they reside in me
words formed of pain

Understanding my scorn
My thoughts are truthful
You will never make the cut

You might be a throwaway
a vessel wrought for destruction
lest you forget
