Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare give up on me. I am helpless. I am flawed. I am undeserving. But I am here. I am one of us. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare push me aside. I can be a ghost. I can be a fly on the wall. But I am steadfast. I am a sphinx who cannot be moved. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare ignore me. I am faceless. I am unwanted. I am forgettable. But I have presence. I have substance. I exist. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare betray me. I am shameful. I’ve made mistakes. But I deserve trust. I don’t want to turn to resignation. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare forget about me. I am invisible. I fade to black. But I am a person. And I want to be remembered. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare ever stop loving me. I am incapable. I have walls. I am scared. But I don’t want to be empty.

Don’t You Dare
Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare give up on me. I am helpless. I am flawed. I am undeserving. But I am here. I am one of us. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare push me aside. I can be a ghost. I can be a fly on the wall. But I am steadfast. I am a sphinx who cannot be moved. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare ignore me. I am faceless. I am unwanted. I am forgettable. But I have presence. I have substance. I exist. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare betray me. I am shameful. I’ve made mistakes. But I deserve trust. I don’t want to turn to resignation. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare forget about me. I am invisible. I fade to black. But I am a person. And I want to be remembered. Don’t you Don’t you dare Don’t you dare ever stop loving me. I am incapable. I have walls. I am scared. But I don’t want to be empty.
I originally thought I wrote this poem about a man I loved who was pulling away from me. Then I realized, I was writing this to myself.
