i am a dot
worthy of nought,
couldn't control my words
let them fly like birds.

emphasised my skill
gave me such a thrill
until i realised
the mistakes disguised.

magnified my talent
that i really haven't
the right to admit.
because i was plainly shit.

sewed my lips up tight
simply out of spite
didn't deserve to speak
if my message is weak.

left the noise and crowd
still didn't feel proud
in the silence i'll roam
simply rot back at home.

because i am a dot
simply worthy of nought
ignore me, i plead
just leave me to bleed.

and erase me i shall
won't that be nice for you, pal?
close these eyes once again
and wither in pain.

smudged to a blur
'til my words come in slur
silence is golden
better to hold in.










breathe...












i am a dot.
