i've been stuffed inside for so long
my feelings discounted,
my words wasted.
i gave up long ago
trying to be understood.
i listened quite intently
trying to make sense of you
as your words blasted hate and loathing
and blamed me for all that you do.
those words swirl about me now
a tight ball of confusion in my head
like some tumor bound inside my skull
that small piece over there in the corner?
that is me, what is left of me
i'm bringing it out into the light now.
gonna nurture it, help it grow.
i'll be the someone i once was
the one you never knew,
will never know.
