Like I Was Never Here

**Explicit Language/Offensive Content Warning.**

You tried to make me bow

You tried to make me kneel

And now it’s all too clear

You don’t care just how I feel

You would never understand

You could never ever know

The hate inside my heart

Basking in the ashen glow

You think you understand

You don’t know a fucking thing

You don’t know the salt upon

Upon these heavy blackened wings

I may never ever fly

But I’ll never fucking crawl

Defiantly I’ll stand

Stand until I fucking fall

And if I fucking die

Don’t shed a fucking tear

Go about your fucking life

Like I was never fucking here

Β© The Beginning At Last

This is dedicated to all the people out there who’ve been stepped on, pushed around, given unrealistic expectations, expected to apologize for, or justify, every little fucking thing they’ve ever done.

Some motherfucker whose never walked in your shoes has no fucking right to tell you what fucking shoes to wear.

Every son-of-a-bitch out there who wanted you to be something you weren’t can piss right off too.

You don’t owe anybody jack fucking shit, and neither do I.

And if anyone is offended by this post, I’m sorry, but you were warned at the top of the page. This isn’t your happy-go-lucky gorilla friend with the cutesy little pictures talking. This is a human fucking being with actual feelings who isn’t going to take anyone’s stupid shit, and deserves the right to say so.

And if you’re feeling judgemental and think less of me for that, then I don’t know what to tell you. I’m sorry I’m not your favorite cartoon character 24/7.

  4. If people don’t know you, the real you…then they can’t make judgments based on what may not be the truth at all. Never allow someone to force your hand in anything. We are but a fraction of the face we show to the people on here and in our daily lives.
    Don’t let someone to make you feel like you have to apologize or owe an explanation for anything.

  7. I’m feeling this. Last day of a job that I’ve had for many years and was not treated very well today, let’s say that. So yeah definitely relatable.

  8. This also fits my mood recently. I’ve been going through some health related stuff while feeling hopeless at times, but your poem reminds me to be strong and not give up.

  13. A lot of people share your feelings. You expressed it unfiltered and unapologetically and that is what I liked about this post! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌ

  14. Kevin, don’t ever apologize for sharing you feelings. Reading this poem, I’m reminded of a lyric from the Suicidal Tendencies song “You Can’t Bring Me Down”: “if I offended you, oh, I’m sorry, but maybe you need to be offended”
