To my loved ones, I'm a ghost: I haunt them, I am to be shunned. Heartless as ghosts are, I do not feel wrath-- I feel the emptiness. What have I done to become this sort of monstrosity? What must I do to come alive before them?-- What must I do-- to become real in their eyes? To my loved ones, I am **** I am brown, filthy, avoided. They seek to go back to the ******** of the owners who love disowning them. Why, my beloved owners, do you not see-- that I am your **** There are many like me, but this **** is yours. To my loved ones, I'm just phlegm. Sticky-- yuck! But, the same substance used to protect them from viruses Why do you look at me-- Your protector, with disdain? Do you not see: I may be all of these, but I am yours anyway.

Being Everything Bad

They seek to go back to the ******** of the owners who love disowning them. Why, my beloved owners, do you not see-- that I am your **** There are many like me, but this **** is yours. To my loved ones, I'm just phlegm. Sticky-- yuck! But, the same substance used to protect them from viruses Why do you look at me-- Your protector, with disdain? Do you not see: I may be all of these, but I am yours anyway.
