2017 November Chapbook Challenge:Day 18, 2017/ Writer's Digest Poetic Asides/ In the Shadows Dwell Good For Nothing Memories



In the Shadows Dwell Good For Nothing Memories

deep in the recesses                  the dark corners                       memories dwell

the room is silent                      except for the occasional          small sad sound

from this i know you are still living      you were shamed         thrown into the shadowy place

you are never asked out           kept hidden in the attic             (or in the heart)

sunshine is not for you             parties are not for you              holidays are not for you          

it is on the darkest night           you are asked to come out        keep someone up all night

tell again                                  the story of your life                 you are as you are                   

you cannot be changed             sometimes you happened years ago      sometimes recently 
                                         
you are filled with yesterday’s pain       still not social ably acceptable     unwanted

i wish you had not been born   you have no place else to go     good for nothing memory
