I Am So Sorry For You..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

yesterday
you remember you were never really an important part of their fabric,
for they are a family, and they do things only for themselves and you are there taken for granted.

you had no choice then, but to stay with them, not even as a decor of their house, but an unwanted pest, which of course, by previous indebtedness, they cannot just get rid of you until you surrender, but

as i said, you really had no choice but just to be with them for the meantime that you have no wings, no backbone, no feet, and you feel just like those not considered essential, ordinary stick

regular wind, always unseen.
Until time comes rewarding you because of your sacrifices.....

your wings will take you anywhere. The world is your playground,
everyone else, becomes the same, just like the way you were treated but
which you do not wish to remember anymore...

how easily you can forget, now, you treat yourself the way you were treated before. Unable to see your essence. Cruel to everyone. Even wanting to punish those who you think are innocent.

all is fair. all is vain. all is useless.
meaning is meaningless. you have never seen the blueness of the skies
and the seas.

rock you hit on your head.
your hands are as dumb as your feet.

this stream of consciousness, without reason,
without images. just fleeting and free.

believing in the randomness of words.
beyond meaning. just the sound of ticking and clicking and
nothing.

you wasted your time for this.
i am so sorry for you.
