T o d a y  .  .

is just
another day

like any other day
     or so I thought
    

        f r a u g h t
                w i t h

             tribulations                                  beyond imaginings
              

    I   s a w   t h e m
       standing there
    

    eyes fixed                                                   on none else
                      but I

                                                  
    l o o k i n g   f o r   p r e y
                                                  
                                                  
            and I was it
            this day's Quota  .  !
                another notch


    There will be no
    consequence for them
               I am not human


         I don't breathe
            I don't bleed


    b a r e   h a n d s


    mark my surrender
    but It's not enough

    
    t o d a y   I   d i e


        they lie as to
        the nature of why
                      and how
                  

    a n d   b e c a u s e
                                                                                          
    every lie was believed                              and told about me


    What was my crime . ?

        my confession
        my guilt
        my sin

    t h e i r   o b s e s s i o n .  ?

    
what . .                                                        is their guilt                                             that haunts them . ?
    

                that . .

                I'm lesser than shame
                

    a    s t a i n ~
    
    
        on their psyche
                   and soul . ?

        am I a reminder
        of their humanity
             or inhumanity . ?


            B A N G . . !
            
            B A N G . . !


I   h i t   t h e   g r o u n d


                       I don't resist  .  .

                everything I was
           or could have been
              
            now oozes                                                                                   onto the concrete
where I lay
              
        
        I ' m    e a s y    p r e y

        
        I'm lesser than ~

        
        no more than 3 / 5
        of what I'm supposed  to be
                       
I am
what they say I am
 

                  they say

                  I don't matter
                 and that justifies
                 my every circumstance
          

                the skin I'm in
the fact that I breathe in


                 t o d a y
            

             because
            I'm no one
