Aura [poiesis]

I think this is a poem. It lacks structure and it may lack meaning. I enjoyed creating this. It is a thing at least if not a poem. Feel free to read or not read my thing. Choosing not to read is participation I think. I prefer that to people never getting the option.

Dry veins, wet bones they're all monsters. I was there before the stars I will be there when it ends. Why weren't you there? I was there. Did you forget or do you just not care? I lost count of the lifetimes spent waiting. I don't know who I am when my eyes are open. I used to be me. I made choices that kept me alive is that enough. When there are no rabbits left to follow grab a shovel. Are you clinging on to every word or gripping them like weapons? Scream at the walls until you learn how well they listen. I'm gone. Did you forget me? Who are you trying to impress? Why is your story untold? Be yourself or we will do it for you. So angry. I've always been a joke. I wasn't even supposed to be here. Got an idea. I'm just getting started. I was a burden. Am I real? don't tell a story about how the world failed me. Tell the story of how I failed the world. I'm sorry. The living unheard and the dead forgotten. Obsessed for better or worse. Obsessed with better and worse. Home is in my chest it's in me but I can't get in. I know why I'm alive. There was a time there was time. Once upon a time is where time lives. Prophecy is blanket and fortress I've seen the face of god but she hasn't seen mine. I can't even find the haystack.
