Thank You

by

Sekhem Psikor Strecker

You don't think I know that?
You don't think I wake up in the morning and think about that?
My whole life I've lived suppressed by everyone else
It's not as if I get by alright either
It still hurts
It still brings silent tears
Nobody can hear me; they don't want to
They don't want to involve themselves in my condition
Don't feel angered by my situation; don't waste your time
Don't sympathise with my condition; it only digs a deeper grave
I don't need to be reminded
I don't need to be excused
Don't relate to my exception; you'll probably undermine me
But maybe I should thank you
For acknowledging my presence_

You don't think I hate that?
You don't think I live the day without feeling like that?
My entire life I've lived alone from everyone else
It's not as if I don't get lonely either
It still stings
It still brings muffled cries
Nobody can see me; they don't want to
They don't want to watch as I die from neglect
Don't feel pressured by me persistence; I just need a shoulder
Don't parallel yourself with my circumstance; it only serves to hurt me
I don't need to be rejected
I don't need to be exempt
Don't promise yourself to save me; such promises get broken
But maybe I should thank you
For accepting my existence_
