Push Me Aside

Maybe I'm a talker Mostly just let words leak from me Doesn't mean I don't watch I know what other people see It's easy for me to settle my will I'm used to caving in I let you blow heat That's kinda my thing The trouble is I suppress me I can't pretend I don't bleed Inwardly I'm gushing liquid astonishment I look like a shadow of humanity My mask is handcrafted I have years of bruises Brush stroked meticulously Always painted perfectly Step on me I'll hold your weight Until you walk over me Then it's you that will have to wait Do you feel replaceable Tread water but know you’re sinking Swallow salt like it’ll cure you’re heartache Know that your sanity is slowly dwindling I wear angel wings But my feathers are stained with blood I hold my head up to breath Except my heart’s been trampled in mud

I like especially the first line of each stanza that put together could built an other poetry perhaps with other message but similar strength, imagery and hope. Congrat.
