What am I to you?
Sometimes
I am a lost cause
Someone who is
Too depressing
Too anxious
Too broken
Too far gone
In the silence that is
My own frayed mind
And you don't want
That mind receiving
Any light
Any hope
As you deem
That thing
That scar
That wound
A cancer that must be
Eridicated
And suffocated
Before it affects
Everyone
And everything
You love or
Even ever cared about
Sometimes I am an object
A toy
A piece of land
A unmarked point
That many feel
That they are
Entitled
To claim
To explore
To scavenge
To play with
To expose
To exploit
To judge
All in order
To really say
That it is theirs
Or that they have
Been with
Been on
Or been around with
Even though
They lie
They use
They bet on
They break
They manipulate
In order to get
What they really want
Sometimes I am a punching bag
Never physical
But
Verbally
Mentally
Emotionally
Those blows
Those cuts
Those broken pieces
Are vivid and blatant
They many a times
Are by accident
They are rooted
Out of spite
Out of frustration
Out of anger
Out of jealousy
Out of disappointment
Out of lust
Out of fear
Out of sadness
They are usually
Never meant
Never directed
As what they
Came out as
But words never
Really do leave
The pages that they
Seem to be written on
No matter how hard
You try to erase
Or white out
They are still there
Faintly
Ghostly
Present
Sometimes
No
Everytime
I am a human being
With a mind
That is a bit different
But still understands
With a heart
That is so full of love
But still hurts
With feelings
That may not be present
But are always there
I am a human being
Remember that
I am a human being
I am
I remember
I remember everything.
Everything.
Past and present.
And future.
I am a human being
And sometimes
Sometimes
I understand
Who you are.
