Fundamentally False
An Introspection on the lack of Self
I am fundamentally fictional ---
a legend passed down day to day.
Hero to none, villain to many,
afterthought to most.
The name I bear holds no talent
in aiding the deciphering of Me.
She is but a mere eight letters,
and I far less.
I am an insignificant speck
of the insignificant people
on an insignificant land
under an insignificant sky.
I spin tales to entertain
in the hopes that whatever remains
of anything human in these bones,
any grain of a spark,
is held dear by hands other than my own.

This is me!
Good at this point
This quietly shattered me. There’s so much truth and ache in so few lines. It’s haunting, raw, and beautifully written—like a whisper from someone trying to remember who they are. Thank you for sharing this piece of your soul.
Wow, I love it... English is not my native language but sometimes I write poems too so I can feel it deeply.
I loved this
This cut me right to the core. Phenomenal poem!
