legs crossed
eyes to the sky
I have lost myself
and wonder why
tear stained cheeks
lips that quiver
fifteen years I
have cried this river
stupid, I think the
mistakes Ive made
Broken, I say of
promises laid
Forgotten I have
of my real self
unread and cluttered
like an unkept shelf
Swept to the side
are hopes and dreams
to look the part
and act so clean
It wasn't for me
to look and see
remembered by most
was forgotten by me.
