It's Just Tape
January 18, 2024
The tape starts with a big roll.
As it is used it becomes smaller and smaller.
Bits and species are ripped from the body,
used, and discarded.
The tape's being, its work
and words belong to someone else.
The only use it can see for itself is to help others
ripping its own body and giving it to others
until the roll of tape ends alone and used
not seeing the damage it does to itself
as it tries to help.
its personality striped
because the tape can't say no
it doesn't know how
It's left with nothing
but an empty cardboard circle
and the regret of letting it be taken advantage of
by someone it shouldn’t have trusted.
