Redefine: Statue

by Aaron Michael

has jaded become me
or becoming in me?

or is it merely
these words only go inspoken
barricaded by better judgement
never breathing the air
outside my grey matter.

the burns and cuts i
swallow back against weaponizing
become acidic and brokenbottle edged
implements of self imposition.

i appear human
but i am a statue inside.

I identify with this swallowing back, imploding hopelessness, but I still want the regret of having said something...so my jaded nature is not yet a deeper shade of green. I think we all feel this way, thanks for revealing it in me.
