I am alone.
A Child of the Night,
aimlessly wandering
in the shadow of the dark.
I hide in the darkness.
The sun blinding my eyes,
avoidance of the light
to prevent the melting of my sight.
I am alone.
My family goes about their day,
leaving me to my thoughts
and crummy board games.
I hide in my room.
Avoiding the gaze of others,
my skin blends purple
it is peeling off.
I am alone.
A decision is made,
to venture into the sun
to experience real pain.
I am alone.
My skin melting like lava,
eyes graying with blindness
heart stopping from the light.
I am alone.
I lay dying in the street,
the medical autopsy will read
died of Xeroderma Pigmentosum.
How sickly sweet.
