Mockery.

Don't slay this heart with toxic word,

or bind my tongue to voice unheard.

Don't cut me down with cruelest mirth,

decry my dreams, deny their worth.

Must I not hope, nor yet aspire.

Should I now quench this life's desire.

May I not seek to touch the sky,

and claim the dream I've lived life by?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Too many put downs from my family, basically!
