You took away from me
what I loved the most.
Ripped it off my bleeding arms,
taking my skin, veins and soul
and a naked beating heart.
Leech, Vulture, Snake.
All names you don’t deserve.
An inferior being who sucks from others
to climb the throne of hell.
On and on I keep encountering
the same soulless creatures.
I’m sure it’s to remind me
what it means to be what I’m not.
Thank you for teaching me
I’m not one of your ilk.
Not this time around.
