Secrets
April 7, 2013
There’s a chapter missing from my biography.
Sleepless from years of nightmares
and hungry from lack of will to live,
I ripped it out myself.
I threw the pages one by one into the flames of my own disbelief.
I try to lose the ashes into the wind,
but they stick to my sun block.
These vestiges could ruin me.
I hope these ashes are not legible.
