I Am Substance Abused ---My Spoken Word

Am I
 abusive
 to myself
 if I'm substance 
how can I be abused
 I abused 
Grounded turf
 I am dirt
 with a spirit soul NO
From the heavens I'm fleeting energy
Placed temporarily
 in a vessel 
body what I look at my eyes 
are dirty
 I abuse 
what I inhale my lungs 
are abused
 I think thoughts that I retained
At birth death rots
 I am abused
 I touched that I should not 
I am abused
 in my wayward forward
 I'm backwards
 I birth 
hurt 
I am abused 
I'm touched at not 
I am not what I touched
 I am abused
 I take partake
 I taste 
I'll wait
 I inhale 
I exhale
 I drink I eat 
I am abused
 in this land 
that I stand 
I am firm  yet softened
 I'm accused
~
 I am abused
~
 I await 
I constantly hate 
I am relevant 
I am positive
 yet negative 
I am abused 
who am I how am
 I where am I 
why am I
 all I know is that I'm am was abused
