Intangible

I am insignificant, unlovable. 
I am the abomination
that travels time in my mind, 
never finding peace of this life. 

Reality overwhelms
and depletes me
for I am undeserving. 
I am nothing. 

I am the echo of a mother
who had no affection, 
the image of a grandmother
sick and divinely twisted, 

The mimic of my father
and all of his masculinity 
channeled into the pound of a fist. 
I am the heart of this home-

Empty, 
my void filled with self loathing. 
Pain. 
Suffering. 

How do I accept this daily?
How do I find the motivation
to use my tongue, speak out?
I don't. 

Happiness was never meant for me.
Love was never meant for my future. 
I am this, 
the ghost that fades through life,

Touching no one, 
hearing everything, 
feeling it all. 
And I weep. 

I weep for what I never had, 
but always imagined
to be in my grasp. 
I weep for the loss that is my life.

The suffering, abuse. 
The constant, dismal dismission. 
For that is all I’m worthy of, 
this is all I was meant to be. 

Nothing.
