"Mostly."

Dropping, hitting, clunking,

Like a stone falling into the stomach.

All day long, it jumps and sinks.

 

Your indifference stings

Worse than my blisters,

And worse than your hate.

 

And like a child,

I cling to your side

And look in your eyes.

 

I am searching for love,

And acceptance,

But all I see is a blur.

 

All you show me

Is your disgust,

And all I feel is sorrow.

 

Why do I remain attached?

Love is the lock

To these gagging binds.

 

Everything I do is gross to you.

My whole existence

is gross to you.

 

"Mostly."
