Isolation

I have seen nothingbut the empty dark of night

Nothing, but grey nothingness

Trapping me, keeping me from the rest of the world

Won’t something, anything care for me?

I am trapped in a closet left behind, forgotten

Like your old pair of neglected sneakers

Wishing for somebody toopen the doors and let the light in

Yet nobody cares whether I am ripped or falling apart they just leave me here to suffer

I’d rather be the growing warmth that you feel inside when happy

That everybody loves,and cares for

They may take it for granted but they can’t live without it

Or even the perfect,plump, red strawberry at the top of the bowl that everybody favors over theothers

I have tasted the unwanted taste you rinse out of your mouth in the morning

nobody likes it but I am forced to live with it in my mouth all of the time

I have learned to live, to be unwanted

for all i am is exactly that

Unwanted.
