Mummy Poem by Barbara Vanier

I have to live within diesease
expected to appease
but the rage it shakes me fast
sometimes I wonder what I did last

Uncontrolled control I seek
another illusion to find my peace
tear at my flesh only to reveal
another layer of filth even more unreal

I scream you stay away
how I long for cleaner days
how I wish that from the skies
rip me open bleed out the lies

I try to feel your love for me
it's never close my wall revealed
all the unseen stains they drown me
in bitter blood St. Anger binds me
