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
