nothing
you stood under the shadow
the shadow left you without a question
thinking the bright light would lite your way
but little did you know that they were cousins
they agree with one another
now you're here all alone
standing in the midst of nothing and life is passing you by.
you're thoughts are complex
and you are perplex
you are nothing but a telephone pole
standing in the middle of nowhere with no one but yourself
staring at the stars because the world left you behind
your mother said abortion should have been her first choice
because you are not worth of being a human
who is she to decide if you can be a human or not?
after all she is your mother and she has the righ to curse you in your grave.
