Hearing

I hear the things they use to call me.

In my wake and every sleeping hour.

I remember what they said,

The sprit most unkind.

It became a part of me,

How the world reacts.

I tried to show it off,

If only to spare my sanity.

Then I hear what you call me.

The words are kinder then theirs.

My heart throbs and my mid goes fuzzy.

Like the warmth I carve from others.

You talk to me like no one else.

Know me like few have tried.

At this point I hope you are not joking.
