Tiny Protests

Let me put you
on hold
I say to myself
because everything else
in this world
is more important
than me
so I let everyone
take from
me
but that is the price
I pay for wanting
to be a part of things
because you’re
either with the greater
noisy demanding selfish
thing
or you’re alone
and not surprisingly
as I keep taking pieces
off of myself
to give to everyone else
I have less and less
of me
to give
I don’t even see me
anymore
all I see is the person
who is defined
by everyone else’s
timetable
everyone else’s
needs
I sometimes think
I have
lost myself
save for these tiny protests
of life
and paper
and pencil.
