Discarded
Discarded
flipped right through
like one of fifty two
nothing but spite brews
as lies spew and prides bruise
every bit as bitter as I seem
the tension teems and splits the seams
I explode through trusses and splintered beams
as bright white anger quickly gleans
Outcast, miscasted actor, cast away
breaking my neck to live today
making a wreck of my field of play
feeling like bait for predators prey
Bye now
Bye to you too
Really? you too?
In the end they all go
and I keep company with my shadow
