They’ve overlooked you again
Noting down their own important events scribbling new ideas
Jotting down new reminders
That fill the blank canvases of your body
Until the skin is filled up with ink
And begins to curl up onto itself
A hedgehog balling itself together
Defensive
Scared
Overworked by the impersonal messages you’ve been forced to carry.

Your sanity on edge
Gripping onto the surfaces
Of where you’ve been left
Careless or purposeful
On the desk
On the door frame
On the pin board
Stuck with the futures of another
How heroic
Yet even the cape-less heroes have their time
To crown another
And you pass it down to
The breeze
For it released you from your
Fate
And made you fly again.
