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.
