This Rug

by JL   Nov 7, 2006


This old rug
Which lines my room
Covered in scrapes
Totally unappreciated

How many memories has it soaked up?
Pee-ed on by infant me
Absorbed the blood of my first scratch
Stained from numerous nail polishes

This old rug
Which has been so faithful
Keeping my secrets
Cushioning my falls

How many memories has it soaked up?
Catching all the fallen tears
Holding me when no one cared
Listening to my hopes and fears

This old rug
Holds so many memories
Contains so much knowledge
Yet is still...
Totally unappreciated
