Poem #332

I found my father at the bottom of the bottle,
my mother hidden on the other side of the mirror,
I found my torment in those I kept close
I watched as they nailed their own hands to the cross.

I sport a meaningless smile
sarcasm is just a defence
I lay awake at night
let my mind fight the silence.

As an author, I started writing their excuses.
Like an archeologist I dug up deeper meanings.
Like a doctor, I stitched up the wounds.
As a poet, I used words to mask the truth.

Oh how lucky some are that I am my worst enemy.
