you look for me, in the dark and in the light.
You may see me, should you truly wish to.
But do you, truly, wish to see??
I think not. I think you say that you do,
but cling to your blindness
as a child clings to their mother.
You claim a yearning to see, but that,
you never will.
You will never see anything when
you always walk round with your nose in air
I am surprised you haven't walked off a cliff,
but then that would be wishfull thinking,
wouldn't it?
I was once abused,
beaten and trod upon
Fed and treated no better, and worse,
than a common animal.
I once Hated,
hated with a passion,
a fire bright, if not brighter, than the sun
but colder than the darkest, farthest reaches
of space.
I was loved, then cast aside as garbage,
when the novelty of having me to hold
had worn off, like plate gold of statues,
and mosques of years past.
I have hated, am hated, and been abused.
I am stronger for it.
