always

I always hear the very same story
I never doubted
I never asked
I never said a word
I just listen
always

told with such disgust
told with such hatred
told with such fear
fear of broken taboos
having existed an eternity
I just listen
always

and at the end
when they turn to me
with a sweet smile
embracing me
thanking god that it was nothing
but nonsense legends
I keep silent
always

and I bite my lip so hard
that it bleeds all over
always
to bear hiding the very fact
that all they so much wish to be lies
are stories of my life
living among them
