You hurt me.
You forgot,
I am someone.
Someone's daughter.
Someone's mother.
Someone's child.
Someone's legacy.

I sat in the sun
And felt my skin burn
I remembered
How it feels:
I am corporeal
I hurt
I exist
I pee
I cry
I bleed

You cannot erase me!

I nourish

Koki...

I felt the emotional cry here; I'm not sure of the circumstances, but I can see you sitting on the beach, waiting for your date; who said they would bring the picnic lunch, a blanket and drinks. He never shows up! I get the shout, "You cannot erase me!" However, the last line has me baffled. ~ Geez.

I thought that this was honest and true. Two qualities that partially make you,you. You cannot be erased , you've written your soul on neo. You most definately do nourish all who know you!

We haven't had

Water.
For a few days.
But, we shall survive
Like Roaches,
We have no choice
