nothing

Everyone that I ever loved Everyone that I ever lost Everyone that I ever met Everyone I ever hated Everyone that I ever missed That ever touched me That ever hit me That ever looked in my direction Or talked to my face All my friends All my acquaintances All the jerks All the men women children animals and plants Every speck of pollen and every scent that went by Every emotion or lack of Every shot from a gun Ever motion you make Every yell you scream at me Every time I defy the norm Every fairy and dragon and chlorine mermaid Every pencil stroke Every picture you sent me Every time you lifted me in the air Every e-mail and letter Every classroom Every house Every dead pet Every stroke and cancer and tumor Every mean word from a friend Every lost friendship Every pain Any lost words unspoken or written Anything you left undone and uncorrected to me Every job I had to do Every kind word from you Every check-up Every break up All the scars from you All the scars from me Each of the times you looked at me funny All the times we laughed that you forgot Everything and a thousand things more Make up my soul my personality If you don’t like what I am Shut up and sit down because it was you that made me this way I am what I am because of Everything Written January 7th, 2001 © on Oct 31 2001 02:02 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
