I remain



She was raped
And carried me
Despite hating me
My birth was easy
Compared to the curse
That I was
My life
Was a flooding river
Run well beyond its course
I was a presence
A ghost upon the earth
No one knew why
I bothered to exist
No one bled when I was cut
And I was white from blood loss
I became nothing
Pale
Hollow
Empty
Until I faded
From
Existence
And view
I was nude
Uncovered
Still invisible
My soul painted
With the screams
Of innocence
