I AM AND WAS
David Culver
copyright © David Culver
-i am, and was a person- a human,
or face in the world...
but not by numbers in a book, or slash mark on some rules check off list.
i play piano, whose song came from heart feelings- i wear my soul long, and inside... hiding from the false light around me.
i am unknown, for being unexpressed-
unallowed to voice the hurt... aloud,
i am, the dried fruit on a table, to the side... no one shall come to my company, nor will i accompany you... to some old broken house- another city. such life, was before this day as well... i learned of people's hate, and marks against the weak... when i was young, and bright, with dreams, which i knew, someday, would take bloom. they are at rest now, along with the faces of those who have loved me.
