#attentionspanofagnat
My face is grave and unchanging Like that of a marble statue You attack me with your words You scrutinize my flaws Your voice devours my identity and shreds it Your distain at what I am claws at my insecurities You call me pathetic, you try to get a rise out of me But I staring straight forward Eyes open, yet unseeing Ears hearing, but not listening You scream my name Over And over And over I appear to be shrouded in darkness Unreachable Distant Frozen in time At last the echoes of my name snag my attention I turn to you and speak Did you say something? Repost if your attention span (like mine) is too short for anyone's words to hurt you because you weren't listening ;P Please comment! I love to read interpretations of my poetry or your thoughts on my work or on poetry itself as an art! 
