I Refuse to Acknowledge The Number


I Refuse to Acknowledge The Number 

I refuse to acknowledge the number

They constantly placed me upon

As if their reflection of me was theirs

Their reflection of them was mine

Fiction character of me was their reality of me

My reality was their fiction character of me

Speaking

Addressing Me!!

As if they knew me

As if they could look right through my glance haunted memories

They where drive by false beliefs

False imagery character of me

They displaced me in their glitter minds

The bitter rage they poured down upon my

Storms of all storms

They could no longer tell

Reality apart from fiction

No longer able to keep my fragile

Mirrors together!!!

My reflection that I only represented

Through their plastic lens

Beeping flashlight images of me

Drove my shadows off the

fragile walls into millions shattered pieces that once kept me in place

As they become my worshipers

And I become there idolize
