do i?

i am not sure

which fact is sadder,

that I am told that

“i matter”, when

in reality

i clearly don’t;

or that you claim

an inclusive scope,

while viewing my brain

as anti-matter.

do i matter, when—

in your eyes—

i’ll never be

more than

past addictions,

present medications,

false perceptions

of me?
