Poetry

Humans

We rely on judgement from others to define us
Yet we say we don't like to judge

We lie, mostly without knowing, but we lie all the same 
But we can't help it, it's  who we are

Our skin can either be warm with the hot blood inside us
Or cold because of the icy world we've placed ourselves in

We look back with regrets
but forward with expectation

We sleep in silence by ourselves
But with others, silence is uncomfortable

This is who we've become
Was this destined? Or did we bring it upon ourselves? 

We search for answers

But the big ones are always hidden

It Was Me.

EVERYWHERE.
And now I get angry.

I didn't make this mess.
It could not have been me.
Was it me?
It was ME!

So now I understand.
It's my fault.
I did this and I have to clean it up.

Where's the broom?
Where's  the dustpan?
I JUST SEE CRUMBS.

And they won't go away.
They won't dissappear.
I can't just forget.

They sheild my view.
My floor.
My mind!
They are inside me!
And I can't find the broom!

I can't ask a friend for help.
How could they see my space like this?
I'm not messy
They know that.
But I suddenly am!

Suddenly my life is ruined.
By these CRUMBS.
These tiny little iotas of fury.

No
They're not angry.
I am.
At them
At me.
At the broom.
At my floor.
At the things that caused the crumbs.
At you.

You read this.
You wonder.
But you don't find me a broom.
You don't find be a dustpan.
You just wonder.

What are the crumbs
