Nobody

[coconuts]

Nobody

We were nobody, nothing, invisible ghosts.
Children silenced in shadows, hidden by hosts.
Products owned, displayed, sold, and bought
Puppets trained, tortured, controlled, and taught.


We could not feel pain, thirst, hunger or need.
We could not love or want or believe.
Shadows,  husks, containers of pain.
Products, labeled, tagged for the monsters gain.

We are nobody, nothing our purpose is set.
It is what it is you get what you get.

This is the message they tried to make us believe. And some of us did. We know its not true but its what so many of our parts feel

This is very dark and sad, but beautifully written. Thank you for sharing this coconuts. I really felt that when reading it.

Sad, powerfully portrayed, yet horrifically true to your experience from all you've shared.
It is said that words paint a thousand pictures... Sadly this does just that. I'm so sorry for you Coconuts... and all the other countless abused...
