Before I Go...

Who am I?
Am I a person with abundance?
Am I a person with nothing?
I don't know anymore.



All these voices
Walking,
Talking,
Screeching animosity
Around me.
What did I ever do?
Did I do something wrong?
I think I did but...
Maybe not.



I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to those voices
With seemingly
Boundless complaints.
I was probably in your way
Or didn't speak loud enough.
I just don't know.



Please, tell me before
I go.



Did I make the wrong face?
Did I show the wrong emotion?
Did I not do a task right?
Did I drop something I shouldn't have?
Did I not stay out of your way enough?



Please, tell me before
I go.



All these voices
Lurching,
Sulking,
Screeching hatred
Around me.
What did I ever do?
Did I say something wrong?
I think I did but...
Maybe not.



I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to those voices
With seemingly
Boundless complaints.
I was probably in your way
Or didn't speak loud enough.
I just don't know.



Please, tell me before
I go.
