Unnamed

Big world, express amusement, laugh at me, Cause I don’t see, what I’ve become, and didn’t Know, I was supposed to be, something else And didn’t care, but kindly stares have since Told me, that I’m a lost and broken art, another work, Thrown apart, by eyes who squint and just don’t see – Who the hell, found place for me, in this museum, This very spot, meant for fine and perfect art, but what I am Is not likely, more than putty, and just as soft, like that That 6 year hands would make, and just as lost, And just as fake, what can’t hold form can never break, Poke my flesh and you will see, another dent, It becomes me; defines the contours of my heart, My broken form, my ugly art. Master, I’m not a part of this museum, or an Exhibit for all to see, when what is me, is little more, than Spare putty not meant to be, swept up, unnamed, and sent away,  Dropped from You’re hands, not meant to stay, I never told You I was strong, would make You Proud, or show them all, I wasn’t meant to be displayed, Touched and pinched by those who say, I must have Lost my form one day, back in the time, when I held shape. And the mold that my Master made, the print of His hands, That gave me shape, His signature, His sign, His heart, And everything that made me art, has long since all been Stripped away, lost to this form, this world has made me nothing more than clay.
