I feel as though my time has been wasted and that there is nothing for me here. Yes, I know it was my choice. A choice on which I assumed the better of you, but now...

Now, I wonder what I was doing devoting my time to something that means nothing now. To something that I having nothing to show for except the utterance of unworthiness to which I am now bound. And, I suppose in a way it's fine that you say these things about someone you do not know so well, about the dead weight that sways in uncertainty.

Your grouping by name finds me wondering what you really think about me and what you really know. Yes, I know others have come to me. They've told me it's a "challenge"; it's just what you usually do; don't take these words personal. But I want you to know that regardless of what they say this is my decision just as it was yours to say what you said. I want you to know that I understand what you said and why you said it, but I don't feel it was right. I don't feel like I belong in that group. Even now, it makes me wonder if I belong in the bigger group beyond the one you avidly placed me in. I want you and everyone else to know that regardless of your tendencies as they have become known to me through your actions and words, I will decide based on what I feel is best.

I'd like to remind you that I'm only here because I enjoyed this subject. Note that I say enjoyed. I don't like it anymore. I hate the way you've made me feel about all of this now. I feel that I'm worthless and that all my efforts might as well been spent doing what was more important to me: school, homework, friends, fun. Probably most important though, time being spent enjoying myself. As of the moment you said my name, it was like all of this facade of enjoyment crashed down to reveal the truth. I've been doing this for you, and not for myself. I've been doing this because, while I chose to, I'm blind. I thought I belonged here. I thought I needed this. Yet, the more I think about it, the more I come to realize that I don't need this, not like this.

Regardless of what you think, I want you to know that this isn't the first time this has happened. However, the first time it did and I recognized it, I called her on it. I told her that I wouldn't work this way because it was what I'd been doing all along. The proof lay in my weeks with only 30-40 hours of sleep; weekends and holidays given away; my endless devotion to the task without asking for a break or help; my sweat; and my tears. A project that took everything from me. So, I found it incredibly wrong that she could even think to ask me for more than what I gave. When everything wasn't enough, I wondered what else I had to give. However, instead of letting it go as it would appear I am doing now, I confronted her. And no, I wasn't subtle or polite. I was enraged and passionate. I told her everything as I saw it and I didn't hesitate to give full emotion and impact to my words. When the verbal confrontation was over, everything was as it was. She saw my side and I saw hers. However, I did not change my ways. I continued what I had done before with no greater or lesser effort for it was my all to begin with. She, however, did change her ways. She never uttered another word to me and watched as the project progressed into a masterpiece over time.

Now, I'm not advocating the same thing this time. Obviously, or else I would have said something a while ago. Instead, your words have made me wonder because of the key line in my clause: enjoyment. I continued with the first one because it was a job that I signed up to do, and a job that I made a commitment to follow through on when I signed on. This however, is not a job. It is not a task. It is an activity. It was meant for enjoyment. Unlike the others in this, this is not a job to me: I'm not getting anything from this by any means. So that's why I feel this way. You make it seem like this is something more than it is, but it isn't. Furthermore, it never will be to me. I don't want it to be a job, a task, an obligation. I wanted it to be something I thought I loved.

Obviously, though, I'm not cut out for this. Regardless of whatever talents anyone sees in me as a tool for you, I'm never going to amount to what you want me to be because I don't see this situation as you do. I'm not worth your time, your money, or your effort. I really do belong somewhere else, and you alone have proved that to me. So be it a challenge, so be it a truth...whatever it was that you entended. This is what I'm going to do: I'm giving you the rest of the time I'm contracted for under this worthless name. Pending what happens from here to then will determine my final verdict in all fairness. I will try to remain unbiased, but given that you can read my expressions--even if only a clue to how I feel, I think you already know where I stand.


Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try

Fuck whores and cheaters
whose ways will lead you astray
for nothing that they say is true
and all they'll ever do is make an ass of you

Fuck whores and cheaters
who's actions you thought you could trust
but in the end, as it began,
you find you are left in the dust

Fuck whores and cheaters
who's love you thought you held
proclaiming everything of you, to you, to everyone
yet you were never number one

For this whore and that cheater;
they've never cared for you
you were just a passover
until they could find someone else to screw
Yes, you were just a simple step
along their neverending way
a crossover to their next fucking lay

Fuck whores and cheaters
fuck them indeed
the ones you thought you cared for
are the ones who fuck you up the ass until you bleed

And that whore and this cheater;
they'll leave you blind
playing with all of you
until you finally see you're being fucked from behind
Yes, you are just something to play with
a simple little toy
living in a world they will destroy

So fuck whores and cheaters;
for the things that they'll do
the things they'll say, and tell you
Fuck them before they get a chance to
Be ready for the turn, and arch back
you don't need some fucking liar
or some skanky hack

So many things I haven't said to you
I wish I had, I know I should.
"Selfish, you whore...I knew you would."


The pictures and letters cast aside
Burning as the memories fade...


These words I will not say
Even in truth, to you they'd be cold
and be it far from me to say how you are sold.


And as each ash falls to the ground
I begin to question the events before I let go...


Did any of it mean anything at all?
To someone you say you are true
But when I questioned, it was just "nothing" to you


The pieces are gone now
But I won't deny that you were part of me...


It's nothing. It's nothing.
Time spent, time wasted, time given away
and ever so simple for you to betray

And as the rift follows between you
and me; at least I am able to move on and know I'm not
wrong.

Note: I started writing this last week and just finished it now.

We've stumbled on errors
and reason in our time
that simple answers found
can not be right alone

In seeing sense and lost at sight
slowly waking to find
that of nothing and everything
blurred and surpassed...behind.

Write it off with an "F" or maybe yet an "X"
bidding it an end to all
for nothing comes about anyway
and delayed it is this change

Speaking silently to let go
and fallout in resistance
the currents ebb and sway
Fading, the sky...drifitng away.

More.
I just need more
There's never enough
No, not even in a single day
It's one of those days, and another day;
and soon, I'm too far behind to see the light

I'm slipping.
Afraid of falling.
In absence; loss of sight.
My hands and fingernails...torn.
grasping these jagged edges; the warmth disappears
and eventually, I don't feel anymore; I'm scraped and numb

Holding.
Unable to look beyond.
The atmosphere condensed
Harder to breathe; the rain falls
and the bitter chill of helplessness sets in.
stabbing through my strength, weakening my being

Closing in.
Shutting down.
Suspended for a moment
adrift in thoughts from then; control.
Thoughts when there was more than me; you.
and the rain continues as my heart questions the difference

Unyielding.
The burden; oppressive.
Yet, the question of self echoes
The song reflected and amplified; lingers.
I'm giving all of me; Proof of progress in continuation.
there is more in time, and in place; words re-examined, enforced.

Continuing.
The rains slowly dissipate
and I've moved only an inch ahead; blind.
Nothing is missing, and in everything there is something found.
Withdrawn only in uncertainty; the numbing ensues, except from within
I breathe the bitter air cutting through my lungs with reason and I know I'm not alone.

Reborn.
Woken by the infinite cold;

Traversed.
Understand the never-ending calamity;

And in all of this, in all of us
cast aside the shell;
Finding what is and is not
remains to be seen and of
enough.

Beyond.
Twisted ties that teeter to past;

Found.
Anew in combustication;
