Shell Void of Soul
My soul was alight,
Crumbling into ash,
Screaming for a shred of understanding.
Whilst my soul was screaming in pain,
My ears burned with screams of anger,
From the person who should have bundled me into their arms,
Wiped away my tears,
And reassured me that my feelings are valid,
My feelings are allowed,
And emotions are central to being human.
Instead,
I was faced with anger,
Fury,
Rage,
Guilt-tripping,
And dismissal.
I was left,
Alone,
Questioning my self-worth,
And banishing all that made me human.
A soulless shell.
Void.
