Poetry: Describe yourself

by Marea E. Johnson

I am the nothing

of what I've become.

Fulfilling predictions

made by everyone.

The painful reminder

of plans gone awry.

The hideous remnant

that is me that is I.

The grotesque mutation

unfit for display

The hideous creature

that hides in the day.

The meaningless piece

of what can't be whole

A void everlasting

seeking its soul.
