I’m blind
I only see what I want to
And I look and see what you don’t know I do
I see what you don’t want me to
And I see it all

I don’t think it’s fair
That I should sit here
And as I stare
Into your thoughts
I can see your hate for me
Your disgust that I breathe

Why does everybody always like someone better than me?
It’s not fair that all you see
Is the worst in me
I don’t get the chance
To prove myself, my worth
Because you judge before I take a breath
Sometimes I resent my own birth

This is my hole in the ground
You are my fire surround
Don’t release me and let me feel
Because the pain will turn me to ashes
So quick it will take me
For all that see me
Feel disrespect
And that alone will burn me up
In shadow

You’re letting me slip
And not helping me back up
So I can thank you for nothing
But everything
For you have come to prove to me
My life’s worth
It’s worthless
And alone I will thrive

So leave me
Let me
Love my solitude.

=======================

such a deeply emotive piece...
aching and angsty.
well expressed poetess Rosie
well done,

Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past?
With this crutch, its old age and wisdom, it whispers no ... this will be the last.
