Me Poem by Kevin Deckert

When I was walking down the street today,
I stumbled and fell down, couldn’t get up again
I saw how people passed me by, saw how they laughed
Saw how they stared, how their eyes looked over me
Like over dirt

They just lived on and didn’t notice me at all
Sometimes, someone tripped over me, so I knew I was alive
But still couldn’t get up

I am the one that no one pays attention to
The one that no one wants to know
I am the trash can of society, the scum of human race
Don’t you dare admit you know me or you'll be nothing worth anymore

Still I’m lying where people walk just over me
Some people stop to tell me that I was in their way
But I am too depressed to even answer,
So they walk on, forget me right away

I am the one that no one pays attention to
The one that no one wants to know
I am the trash can of society, the scum of human race
Don’t you dare admit you know me or you'll be nothing worth anymore

But I stand up again with groggy knees
I will try to live on once more
‘Cause giving up is not my style
I stand up and fight for all my rights
For everything that you have given in



Not what I consider a poem exactly, more a songtext, but that's how I feel sometimes
