I am Michele's Piece of Soot
by Michele SchottelkorbI testify on your nonchalant behalf
when you smile, your eyes give you away
and I seem
to waste precious moments
trying to figure out my motive for caring
there are those who say
a person cannot change
unless they want to
when you forever put yourself before others
the world slowly fades to gray
I am charcoal.
