Memories will not die

The strong wind will not blow away
the heaps silently piled—
of insults and pain.
Throughout these years of silence,
the strong wind swirled dust across my face,
and I was hit with whip-like branches.

And how can I forget when left alone,
and they like kings incensed while on their throne.

Old clothes I had to wear for many years.
My crying only heard if walls had ears.

When thrown out of the house like a wild dog,
and left outside alone in cold and fog.

I know it’s hard but can’t forget the pain.
Their insults fell upon me like the rain.
