I run beside my baby, free,
Our hearts interlocking
Till that whip, thwacks her leg
Her hoof cracks my leg, my head
Dead… Momentarily
And then I feel the raindrop tears
Glistening, splashing from my eyes
They dance down my icy cheeks
Before collapsing in an echoing fall
To the ground, like spears…Thump
Sand slips between my bloody fingers
My hearts like a metronome, skipping beats
Kim’s hands clasp my shoulders
I try to struggle, confused, alone, free
Who knows were my sense’s gone?
Medicine and restless nights later
As I clamber through the traditional catastrophe
I feel the thousand eyes choking me
Even my teachers freeze at my face
Death really would’ve been the kinder option
I try to smile but a flash of fear flickers on my face
On the scars, blood and lumps… momentarily
My lips trickled down my face
I become a put them-down-for-there-own-good kid
How come human’s dignity’s so easily stolen?
I imagine that I am real
Understood, loved and helped
And then I’m back to reality
And I’m an ugly, ‘James Bond villain style’
Why did incompetence kill life?
