Stigma

Stigma

A Poem by mhylands

A stigma exposed and spreading
My attempts to cover it in vain
Like wildfire fueled by insecurity
Impervious even to heavy rain

Stain unrestrained - shamed, insane

Pestilent blemish without a remedy
Immune to the resistance
Adapting to vicarious means
A parasitic existence

Viral euthanasia - missing identity

Captured in a temporal cell
Crying out within these four walls
In need of anything to quell
This pain, an answer to my calls

Forgotten - infectious quarantine

Languishing this state of being
Soon, the stigma will devour me
Fighting to retain dominance
For when I can truly be free

Dissipating - shade permeates
