I am the Unloved Poem

I am the unloved,

The darkness inside

 Party of one

But still nowhere to hide

I am your shadow

Your sadness,

Your plight,

I am that one bully

That you never could fight

I am your best friend

 I’ll tell you the truth, 

I am your dad’s approval

Just kidding, that will never come through

Your addictions?

You ask

Yeah I run that train

Choo Choo, Next stop

Here come Withdrawal pains,

 That scorched earth valley,

Yeah that’s me

Past them luscious verdant plains

I am your youth

 Just slipping away

You thought it forever

But guess what

Today, collection day

You fidget you fret

You ask me to stay

You got down on your knees

Even started to pray

I am not your lover

Your whims I don’t obey

I gave you the sun

You didn’t make the hay

Ok ok

I think I have been mean

So I will try to come clean

Or rather I will tell you

What is simply not me

I am not ….

 That dumb curated identity you constantly tout,

You can repeat it, and yeah you can shout

But still,

Nobody cares what you think it is about

Something important,

You seem to have done without

A little goes a long way

But maybe just maybe

Introduce some doubt?

I am telling you brother

Oh don’t you dare pout!

What you think is original

Is just too played out

I am not

That 2 dollar donation you made to save the planet

You slept like a baby that night

Made out like a bandit

I hate that fake chivalry

Those crocodile tears

I hate the moral high ground

You claim as your sphere

I am not

 The conversations you start,

Those are just so trite

You prance around in parties

Going left and going right

Pontificating

Gesticulating

Oh you are flexing that muscle tight!

You sound like an idiot

You know that right,

Even if the girl you pulled

Still sucked your dick that night

I pity you though

 Your attempts to always stay chipper,

For it is me, dummy

 The missing arrows in your positivity quiver

You tried to kill me once, remember?

Ended up just busting your liver

Why do you have to be like this?

Your redemption

I promise I can deliver

If you just just sit with me once

Maybe take me to dinner

Or tell me I no longer scare you

When you pass me in the mirror
