To Whom it May Concern

To Whom It May Concern,

I've blamed you for so long

Cursed your existence in mine

I placed the burden of me upon you

Even as I've let go, it still resides in me

The pain and fear, the desolation

What's become of me since then

The ever present darkness I ignore

I'd once laid at your faults

For what was done, what wasn't

But now I think of my role

In this Lifetime™ drama life

Was it me all along?

I'd let myself become isolated

Let myself get used and discarded

There's something broken in me

That feels so disconnected from

From everything

As if I don't belong

Anywhere at all

Everywhere I go, I'm outside

With anyone at all, I'm no one

As if I'm a window to look through

Catching a reflection or two

But still depthless and overlooked

Easily forgotten

And the image is often the only focus

Food for the eyes, and nothing else

Another fault I've wrought

For putting it on display so much

Not asking enough for a deeper inspection

So I'm writing you to apologise

For making me your problem

For putting it all on you blindly

When my decisions led me here

From the cradle to the grave

As they say…

I'm sorry,

No Longer Your Concern.
