Goodbye, Me; Hello, MeA Poem by Egao-onnaAs I make the journey I slowly begin to vanish For 24 and 36 hours, I am a shadowe I am the paper on the walls. They all have a grand time I am invisible They whittle the hours away merrymaking Because I am not there I’m a dark spot in the corner where the light cannot reach A stain on the fabric of the home Barely noticeable Not Loved by anything real. For 24 and 36 hours, I cease to exist I am the wind Or a whispere Counting down the hours Until I can return to myself again. Tick Tock The hands tick like molasses drips As I the spectere watch and wait As life goes on around me I sit in silence And no one sees me I am content with this For not being seen Is better than being the centere of their fearsome attentions. © 2011 Egao-onna |
