I Am Inconsequential

by Stephanie   Oct 24, 2008


What is the meaning of this, you ask?
- I don't know.
All I know is that I'm not doing good.

```````````````````````````````

I'm shaking inside of this anxious skin,
And I've forgotten the taste of your name.

One, two, three. I follow my footsteps.
Hoping that this is the incorrect path.
I fall. I stumble. I trip over your lies.
I wish to drag you down here with me.

"Never enough", I repeat to myself,
Whispering sympathies to myself tonight.
Needing the comfort of your angel;
There's a safety that I draw from you.

I hum your melody inside of my head,
And scream familiar hatred that you said.
Burning in your words - I'm breaking.
Save me from this inconsequential wreck.

I'm shaking inside of this anxious skin,
And I've forgotten the taste of your name.

    This poem was pretty good, very hard to follow along.

    I feel that the average person is going to be confused by the opening line. I was when I first read it, I had to re-read it. I felt that this poem was very hard to follow along.

    The middle it really came together and started to pick up and felt that it was something that I could really look forward to.

    the end is something that wasn't special, but didn't lose me either.
