Least Favorite Poem
i was created, much like a poem
not through love, rather penned
on a blank sheet of thoughtless words
that were spit out in darkness, devoid of feelings
wallowing in emotions that left me numb to touch
as i watched them ink me from the pools of crimson tears
that riddled every line of torturous scars atop child's flesh
then crumple me in little balls, and discard me as worthless
i wasn't their masterpiece, they never signed their name
i was the least favorite poem they ever wrote
