I Am
Who do you think you are
With disdain dripping from your eyes
Splashing me with your disgust
I am human
Can you not see me
Can you not hear me
No of course not
How can you when I am so far beneath you
Flames build in my chest
Erupting from my roiling stomach
I am a person I scream
The sound thunders through space
Crashing into the room
Yet no one turns a head
No acknowledgement is given
I begin to shrink
Icy rain extinguishes my flame
I am no one
I have no voice
I have no face
I need to disappear
Not even the Universe listens to my plea
As this shell called I am
Refuses to fade away
Emotions used Rage and Despair
