Genre: Dark, Self Reflection
MALIGNITY, by Brandon Rodriguez
No one said they loved me, Not one single soul.
Why would they? I’m ugly, my teeth are yellowish gold.
Crooked like staggered weeds, under a concrete floor.
Imbedded under soil, that is of no use to anything anymore.
I Sit exposed to intense heat, that kills just for fun.
That laughs Till I’m dark and dry and to the point of dying in sun.
My skin infected with black spots, Hidden under clothes.
Scratch myself until my Skin bleeds and eventually decompose.
The skin quickly rashes and soon develop into full blown hives.
This is when the sickness relishes and thrives.
I did this to myself and I just Wait for myself to die.
The pain is too much to bare and yet I continue to try.
All over, my nails contain fungus that rots me from the core.
As it sits there, looking like a horror movie gore.
Secretly feeding and multiplying.
Black like my heart that sunk to my feet.
Black like the color of the pieces of tar from the street.
This malignant place my bodies in, leaves me immensely weak.
Hopes of a bright future, are now dim and bleak.
All awhile they are all Spreading more and more….
I’m dying as I live, and I still don’t know what for.
