Sarcasm

Sarcasm, a knife 
that slices 

my hope and self worth 
into indistinguishable pieces of waste
lying around my feet. 

Is it mine 
or did you throw it at me?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
