Selfless erasure
You know you're always misunderstood.
With feelings that words can’t even explain.
But you understand why no one understands you
So you don’t feel bad.
When people kick you down,
They don’t know,
You’re already so down to earth.
I love how you never let yourself fall
Into the nasty pits they dig for you.
Yet you trip,
You stumble,
Your own feet betray you.
You’ve made so many excuses for others,
You’ve become an excuse yourself.
You've worn so many shoes that aren’t yours
You now reek of their stink.
And still
Nobody sees you
The way
You see you.
