Stripped Away
by Nicole Terry
In the dark stripped away
down past the years of Facades
is where I shall find you dreaming
awake! I must tell you
(I have your secret)
You're nothing.
Scared and alone,
like the rest of us.
No cries, no mommy to dry your eyes
just screams
bouncing off the walls in your mind
I know you.
For I have seen you centuries before this moment
you're gone. . .
But you'll be back
