Welcome Mat

by sweet_rebellion   Jan 22, 2007


I'm sick of being stomped on
as you walk all over me
I'm the welcome mat to your front door
for all the world to see

you all are very welcome
to stop by and say hello
but there's something I will tell you
that I think you really should know

You never even notice me
you don't even know I'm there
you always use me subconsciously
you don't ever seem to care

I'm only trying to help you
but I guess you just don't see
because you come right back to stomp your feet
and give all your dirt and grime to me

So now I just don't care no more
I've given up my fight
I'll let you use me anytime
but I'm fading more each night

    I know that feeling so well ... it comes with being short, I think. Sorry you feel like this. :( You've expressed yourself spectacularly in this poem, and I was very impressed with a very good metaphor and some very original subject matter.
