I Sit Still

I sit still

and wait to be appreciated 

by someone who sees me 

or will throw me in a glass. 

Using me for drinking, cleansing, fun and waste. 

Taken advantage of and thought of as a gift. 

I can’t take this agony. 

Seeing unappreciated people who would take advantage 

and not abuse their power. 

But then again, 

I wish I could see everyone 

and make everyone happy 

without it not being my choice 

to where I can and can’t go. 

I am the source of all life 

so don’t shut me off 

for your desire and taking away others. 

If they don’t need me, then you don’t need me. 

No one needs me I guess, 

I’m just useless, 

so don’t rely on my existence anymore.
