Disappearing

Kerry Valkyrie Baldock Kelly

I shrunk a little bit more today,
My opinions mattered a little bit less,
A little bit more than yesterday,
Perhaps it's for the best!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
No one noticed the agonising pain,
A little bit more than yesterday,
I think i've gone insane!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
The people I love no longer see me,
A little bit more than yesterday,
The future will not be!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
You said thoughtless, cruel words,
A little bit more than yesterday,
My silence seems absurd!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
Encaged alone in this grim place,
A little bit more than yesterday,
The mouth sealed on my face!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
Defeaned by my sad, sceaming soul,
A little bit more than yesterday,
Fighting your heart of coal!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
My opinions mattered a little bit less,
A little bit more than yesterday,
My necrosis is for the best!
