On the road
by indigosparke
I am left a rag doll on the side of the road
Life
the road to nowhere
Dusty
I walk
exhausted
waiting for someone to pick me up
to wipe my face clean
wipe my eyes dry
wipe the blood from my cracked feet
No one stops
Mostly
A few
The ones who can see who I am under the dust this world has covered me in
who can see my soul through my eyes
who can read and feel it
They stop
But I am so blinded by the lies I have told myself
I don’t see them
I can’t
I can’t believe its real
They
these ones
tell me over and over and over
they have come to pick me up
But I say no
politely at first
but then I scream through gritted teeth and tears for them to leave because I feel trapped and I can’t keep walking on my own when they are blocking my path forward
MOVE!
Please move…
Please just let me be
Ive been doing it on my own and I don’t need you
and you can’t love me anyway
Im to much a mess for you to fix
so please
please don’t try
Eventually
they leave
And then I realise
I chase the car screaming for them to stop
but they can’t hear me
And I am alone again
In silence
Beautiful.
