Persona Non Grata

Persona Non Grata

 

Step on my grave

while I rise to get up

for another day.

Read my name

on the stone

as a curse before

you drive off again

in the hearse.

 

Cremate my reputation

and exercise my possessions.

Purge the damned memories

that plague your sympathies.

Exacerbate external sins

before examining them within.

Regurgitate animations on a scream

that make you wanna scream-

study them to find something new

than give them a hundredth view.

 

Give me water when I’m drowning

and oxygen when I’m photosynthesizing,

 

Crown me in a golden halo

so I can give it a good throw.

Name me after a martyred saint

so I could think of my namesake

“How quaint.”

 

I almost gave my life

up for something too-

deserving death for

who I am

and

what I do

I saw the darkness and decided then

“I'll live instead of giving in.”

because its better to make

the whole world cry-

than give my life for the benefit

of anyone and die.

 

And if you don’t agree with

who I am

hit the abort button again and again-

so I can hear the “click, click, click”

like a gun being pricked-

broadcasting so clear-

The hate that is always near.
