if you only knew (poem)

if you only knew
i wish
a wish
a polka dotted dish
holding all of life
in the blink of the
life a fish
upstream
downtown
everyone moves
his river
around
i wish
i was
something
worth your wish
but you can�t let
your penny drown
if i laid down
beside you
crawled inside you
until the essence of
my i disappeared
would you forget me?
because i didn�t take
from you
i only
gave for you
to see
my shadow
could leave you
a memory
of
my eye sockets
empty
can you touch
what i did for you?
what i gave up for you?
you never saw one
my own vision
you painted me
your sad viewpoint
into division
i�d be me for you
if you were me for me
for you will never be
enough for me
by only being you
and now I can
barely
but I brailley see
you cocking your head
i see the confusion
of blatant division
i know you don�t get me
even though i give me
too free
you don�t quite ever
understand
the way i live
but you laugh at the
joke
just to be part of
the �us� crowd
problem is
you might just
make it through
if you didn�t
laugh so damn loud
then there�s
�me�
if you only knew
