The Sun, My God
Jaded
 Hated
 Nauseated
 
 Nothing, nothing, nothing
 I am nothing!
 Dammit.
 
 Am I truly defined by this suffering?
 
 Maybe to the divine, the loving.
 
 Someone once asked if I remember my dreams.
 Well I don’t know, it seems 
 as though when I dream, I overflow 
 with salt and snow
 It melts in my chest
 and freezes over because cold is what I know best. 
 
 So I go
 
 and I run.
 
 I run until I lose track of where I’d begun,
 Stare intently at the sun, the god of no preacher or nun
 
 My God.
 
 Because to the divine, the loving
 
 I am nothing.
 
 I am jaded
 hated
 nauseated 
 and defined by my suffering.
 
 A word to the wise, 
 when you happen across bitter eyes,
 Stop and apologize.
