people shun me now
pretend i do not exist
i've been beaten down
this lonely cocoon
that has become my prison
forever enslaves
in shadows i stand
a nameless face, now disgraced
i've been beaten down
a fading echo
whisper carried on the wind
memories not saved
an open door, closed
i have become a scourge, purged
i've been beaten down

PoetryI have said it all before ... so now, in silence , I will stand.
