Hello my old friend.
Its been a while,
Since you've said hello.
I thought you were gone...
Removed from my reality.
But here you are,
Clawing into my skin.

I've held my head high,
Turned away from the hideous things
Burying the hate you bring out.
But it looks like you've got roots
They're deep. I cant escape.

I dont like to be reminded
I do not matter.
I've avoided that
Trying to see the whole the world
Before you set fire to it
Before you opened my eyes to the reality.

I wonder if anyone else sees,
Its hard to see the world's beauty again

Its not the world.
Its the people in it.

I dont like it.
To be  reminded,
There will always be
Despair, greed, selfishness, and sadness
In this cold dark world.

I dont like to be reminded...
I dont matter.
Not to anyone In particular,
But to this world
And all of her chaos

Not caused by her
But the people.
