A Poem of Thanks
-rejection-
can you smell the fear embedded in my clothes
the pain on my skin
the tenancy to flee ever flowing through my flesh
can you sense my confusion the moment i enter the room
the uneasiness I portray in conversation
can you read my insecurities like a book
and discard me so quickly?
It must be easier to my acquaintance than my friend.
Reassure me please.
Is this the reason your minds all forget without difficulty
Is this the reason I dwell on leaving this forsaken prison you’ve built for me
With your heartless words and actions
I spent too long running away
sacrificing ideals that were never mine to give
it is only right i have nothing left now
save the shattered pieces of friendships
that can not be re-mended
I made these mistakes myself
now i can only bask in this empty, lonely world i chose as my own
Strong, dark, beautiful
I appear in everyone's eyes but my own
can you smell the fear embedded in my clothes
the pain on my skin
the tenancy to flee ever flowing through my flesh
can you sense my confusion the moment i enter the room
the uneasiness I portray in conversation
can you read my insecurities like a book
and discard me so quickly?
It must be easier to my acquaintance than my friend.
Reassure me please.
Is this the reason your minds all forget without difficulty
Is this the reason I dwell on leaving this forsaken prison you’ve built for me
With your heartless words and actions
I spent too long running away
sacrificing ideals that were never mine to give
it is only right i have nothing left now
save the shattered pieces of friendships
that can not be re-mended
I made these mistakes myself
now i can only bask in this empty, lonely world i chose as my own
Strong, dark, beautiful
I appear in everyone's eyes but my own
