Goner

zhangyuyouyu

The path is too narrow for three

I feel myself being hit and thrown off the road

And I know all of you would laugh and run

Leaving me behind

Like it's all a funny joke

 

The capacity of your mind

The volume of your heart

The space in your house

Was never infinite

Not big enough for me

So I curled myself up and starved myself

Perhaps if I'm smaller, I can fit in again

 

But then I turned invisible

Because no one remembered me

No one believed in me

Even myself

 

So I stopped

I stopped struggling to reach out for a hand to help me out because it was never there to begin with

I stopped screaming in the darkness when no one was here

I stopped trying to be someone special 

Because I'm just so forgettable

    Like anyone that receives not reward for what they have done the response becomes extinguished or one gives up. A normal response. Nicely written
