Armutszeugnis | poetry | figurative art

the world got to you, didn’t it

the world that kills and says I didn’t even touch him

the world conveyed to you

that you shouldn’t exist

have you looked at the body of the world

how unclean it is, how rotten

how could you believe a word it was saying

but you agreed

you agreed that everything you were

should be reduced to nothing

the world in its incapability to love

taught you nothing else

that anyone can be unloved in a split second

and despite my insignificance in the world that ate you up

I will never stop putting my arms around your worst self as well
