There’s a Hole in My Stomach

Anonymous 

There’s a hole in my stomach. 

I don’t remember how it got there. It grows bigger with every step I take. 

No one asks if I’m ok. 

No one asks how it got there. 

They just keep walking. 

Sometimes I wonder if I did something to deserve this. 

If they ignore me out of fear or spite. I grow more tired and angry as the days go by, asking anyone, someone, to help me. 

But they just keep on walking. 

There’s a hole in my stomach. It’s taken over most of my torso and drips down into my waist.

It’s no longer the people that anger me, it’s the hole. 

 As I walk amongst these people, in pain and agony, I can’t help but wonder what happened to me. 

I feel a tap on my shoulder and swing my hand back around. 

I hear a tear and a gushing sound. 

There’s a hole in my stomach. It grows with every step. But now I know how it got there.
