Dark Poetry From A Twisted Mind

Born Dead

I am,
Have always been,
Will always be…
Dead.

My skin
A pasty white,
Feels like silk ~
Unharmed by the elements:
The sun,
The wind,
The rain.

I stroke my arm:
In awe
Of the softness,
The purity…

Yet some
Animal hatred
Within me
Howls
At the injustice:

These beautiful,
Young,
Suntanned people:
In shorts,
Hawaiian shirts,
& sandals…

Talking,
Joking,
Giggling…
So animated,
So… alive.

And I wonder
What hideous god
Allowed me
To be born
Dead.
