For I was in pain
- and you refused to lessen it.
For you used to be my friend
- and you forgot me.
For I was weak
- and you ignored me.
For I was shut-in
- and you did not visit me.
For I called you
- and you never answered the phone.
For my floor was dirty
- and you didn't clean it.
For my fridge was empty
- and you didn't fill it.
For I couldn't drive
- and you didn't take me.
For all those hours of pain
in front of a blabbing screen
helpless and lonely and hopeless.
For all those well-meaning advisors
"Why don't you do this and do that?"
Who wouldn't bother with actions
Their good words to follow-up.
I considered the option of dying
yet somehow
it would be just playing into your game
so I kept on
my useless existence
To all of you I say:
"Here I am".
