I Do Not Exist
The final twist of fate
A Villanelle
In the final twist,
I would come to know
I do not exist.
It was not my wish
To be treated so,
In the final twist.
What is it I missed,
Where am I to go?
I do not exist.
Who decided this,
Delivered the blow
In the final twist?
Catastrophic shift,
Arbitrary role,
I do not exist.
I came down to this
Empty, soulless soul,
In the final twist,
I do not exist.
When you decide that someone is irrelevant or their existence makes you uneasy, does this give you the right to negate their existence? Does your reality change their reality?
Why?
How?
