My Puddle

In the darkness of the light
alone
in the shadow
diminished
taken away
not cared for
or about
that's me
forming a puddle

without a voice
innocence taken
without words
pain in the past
pain in the tears
pain in the laughter
staring at
my puddle

broken chains
severed ties
silent screams
still
no voice
no air
to carry sound
pain without agony
drowning
in my puddle

dissappointment in self
ashamed and content
knowing nothing else
ignorant from truth
confused
cast away
set aside
to sit
alone
in the corner
in my puddle

a puddle
of tears
that have proved
nothing
that have solved
nothing
me alone
in my puddle
sorry for me
my own sympathy
PITY
in my puddle
