Ignore Me
Tell me
brimming as I am with secrets
about the stories hidden within your creases
Tell me
pay no mind to the background of my life
I'd much rather hear about the plot of yours
Tell me
these words I use do nothing for my own grey mediocracy
but yours
yours I could pay homage to
I can paint your life like the milky way paints the night sky
my own
filled with pains of the day to day living we all ignore
Ignore me
I am the paper unto which you write your story
I am what's hidden in the background
I am laid bare for all to see but only if they look hard enough
I'm not sure I want them to look hard enough
So I give them you
dolled up in your own bubble of pain
a story interesting enough to occupy the mind
and boring enough to entertain those willing to listen
to who I am, can you hear me
shouting out across the pages and into the void, can you hear me
admist my mediocracy

This piece is really about my own writing and how even if it's about someone or something else, it's still me, hidden in those words.
