i'm there for you

Accusations are like the second skin

with scars, black spots

warts and vitiligo patches.

Be comfortable in it

Because everyone is going to

accuse you

of everything

love, heartbreak, denial

madness, of starvation

brilliance, beauty

forgetfulness, lust

of being yourself

Do not feel unimportant

Because everyone needs you

You are their favourite martyr

the famous loser

the world cannot exist without

So hang in there

and hey, a smile would be just perfect

You are back! This poem pierces deep into my soul. It sounds too tardy, but that's exactly what it has done.

After long silence...refreshing to read this, specially when i'm bedridden with chronic complexes and obsessive disorders

As it is always said, "Brevity is the soul of wit".. Loved it..

'Do not feel unimportant

Because everyone needs you

You are their favourite martyr

the famous loser'

I did this at another level myself...living off other people...particularly the most disgusting ones. And it begins right where I call them that.
