“Inferior

You should fear the world

You are in my shadow

You amount to nothing

You have no power

Useless

Worthless

You disgust me,

Cower,

At the drop of a hat

You will face your death

For Nazis are

The world superpower”

**_Years After the Holocaust_**__

“Why am I inferior?

Why do I cower?

I am worthless, I am nothing

Their words, they disgust me

But they stay in my head

Like a blockade I can’t invade

Why am I scared?

I remember the smell

Death, insane

I tear my hair out of my head

And wonder why I am not enough

Is being a Jew so wrong?

Is it sinful to believe

That my ancestors were worthy

And so I should be?

Inferior.

Cower.

Your words still shackle me

To that dark damp room

I wish I could say

That the Holocaust was not my doom.”
