Trash Personified

Pick me up
from this
hard floor...
Or at least
cast a glance
in my direction
and see me
where i lie.
But then again
I've seen you
watching me
as I litter
and bleed on
the holy ground
you walk upon.
You have
stepped on me
countless times
and left
bloodied imprints
of your pride
and self worth
on every broken
part of me.
Your eyes do nothing
but make
this feeling
of worthlessness
resound in the
emptiness of my being.
You just
don't care
at all.
You'd rather
sate your sadistic whims
and watch as I lie
on this cold
marble stone
and wait for
someone to collect
these shards of myself.

    Very good personification of garbage. Never thought of it that way before. Hopefully w haven't gotten that bad as a society, that we have to have garbage talking to us to remember to not litter. Maybe people need to invent talking garbage cans with sensors to sense garbage when people throw something nearby it on the floor. Well, anyway, good write.

    This is a very dark and deep poem, full of angst and emotion. Your lines are very short but it works well, it makes you sound more angry. Great job and keep it up!
