I Was a Person (final)

There was no way for you to help.
I always needed you.
I sent all the signs.
Almost begging on my knees.
I was pleading, and changing
In a way you couldn't dream!
I was hoping that one last shout, would change how you see.
I was wrong, that much is evident.
I hoped you could believe in me,
I knew I was not worth your time.
You just were not here…
You ran so many charities,
You helped so many other people!
But the one you forgot was me.
I was past the point of redemption.
Maybe you knew that;
Maybe you immersed yourself in all that good, to make up for all my bad.
I love you.
You loved me…
I was a person.
Before you forgot…

Before you forgot!
I was a person.
You loved me.
I love you…
Maybe you immersed yourself in all that good, to make up for all my bad.
Maybe you knew that
I was past the point of redemption.
But the one you forgot was me…
You helped so many other people;
You ran so many charities…
You just were not here!
I knew I was not worth your time;
I hoped you could believe in me.
I was wrong, that much is evident.
I was hoping that one last shout would change how you see
In a way you couldn't dream…
I was pleading and changing,
Almost begging on my knees,
I sent all the signs!
I always needed you…
There was no way for you to help.

omg this is so cool, how is can go forward and backward and still make sense!
just curious, what inspired you to write this?

Thank you!!!!

my inspiration... hmmm let me think. my inspiration was the fact that i am at writing camp, and i didn't want to go on facebook, so i decided to write a mirror poem to entertain me instead.

so I started writing it, with i was a person, and then i just expanded. this is not a personal experience, but i think i collaborated some imagination, with kind of church, and just experiences of friends and people.
i guess that was my inspiration...!?!!
