for a second

I thought I wasn’t supposed to be

here

second guessing never gave anybody the right answer anyway

but on second thought

like a bulldozer

you wore down and

you tore down

the temple

my temple

I’ve spent my whole entire life building

and rebuilding and rebuilding

brick

by brick

by brick

my life’s work

and all this time I thought my time was well spent

until you looked me in the eye

from the other side of the table

while you sat in your seat and

I sat in mine

I didn’t know eyes could talk

until that day

the day I got a seat

at the table

like a fable

you looked at me like

a lie like

a joke like

a mess

well I laughed too see I laughed at

you

because I was too damn big for your small little mind to process

progress

you spoke no words

but your message couldn’t have been any more clear

while your spirit was screaming

I wasn’t supposed to be here

I wasn’t supposed to be

but I’m still

here

while you sit in your seat and I sit in

Mine.
