move me to distraction
feeling like the bottom of my shoes gets more notice than I do
for at least the ground pays attention
maybe then I’d feel more included if I just lay down
look up at the sky
which has no choice but to look down at me
both benevolently at times
and also judgmentally
depending on the day
the feeling
the feeling of insignificance
does anybody really see me when they look at me?
maybe I should lay down on the ground
next to an airport
so that the people looking out of their windows
looking longingly at the earth
will also be, inadvertently, looking at me
with longing
distraction
distraction
distract……
do the imperfections of my face
distract you from my eyes?
do the flaws of my body
distract you from my character?
do the limitations of my intelligence
distract you from my wisdom?
do the weaknesses of my relationships
distract you from my love?
drive me to distraction
distract me from my own defects
distract me from the mirrors that distort my self perception
let me see myself in the mirrors of your eyes
pick me up off of the ground
and move me to distraction
not a very happy piece, but i like it....tell me what you think, but be nice.
