A nobody, restrained.

A question, I asked,

Replies were naught.

I whispered a query

Silenced, I was.

I had uncertainties, doubts and suspicions

But I wasn’t allowed, even to ponder.

I had discoveries to share

I was hushed.

I raised my hands

They were cut.

My wishes were,

Scattered and ignored.

A nonentity

More unknown than dust

I was to be doused

Even before I could levitate.

I was nothing,

They fed to my brain

A faceless existence

Never to be named.
