What Am I

To be so easily passed by
Walked through like a figment of my own sick imagination
It makes me wonder what I am 

Only noticed when someone is in need
Then thrown aside like a peddle cast into the ocean
Brought along only to be the spare, and extra

What am I
Forgotten those that I once called family
Left behind by all

What could I be 
To be so easily used and then left
Could I still be a person?

Can I still even be a man?

you are, that which dwells inside you. They say that which dwells inside you is eternal.

Excellent contemplative write. Never let someone else define who you are.
