Atlas
By Ashley O’Hare
“Get over it.”
“It’s time to move on.”
“What’s done is done.”
If only they knew
how hard I have tried.
How, ever after I came to terms
with my past—
You still have your claws
in my future.
Now the visions that plague my sleep
Make The Conjuring rated “G”
No.
They will never fully understand.
Only Atlas,
carrying the weight of the world
could fathom
the burden you have put my body through.
