Stained

The very first poem I wrote in english. A story of being gaslighted.

Friday, October 7, 2022

Smudged in black

Star-spangled, stained
tainted and diluted.

Negativity endowed,
essence disputed.

Such sweet torture.
Brains scrambled
shaped with dark nurture.

Tip the scales
towards mythology.

Methodology in puppeteering,
what a racket.

Taste the lies and pass
judgment on a work of fiction.

Who's steering this ship?
