Ink Sketch

Simple, dumb, sinful
and ever so tolerant
of those who, despite 
their complete insincerity 
still managed to convince you

that you in your wholeness
as a human being 
was worth no more
than the judgement of strangers.

I'm still here.
This rotten feeling.
I know it's you.

I'm still here, I know
Deep down, you always wanted to die...

...right?
