a sponge

what i am to any person in the world. its a good and bad thing.

Absorbing the disdain

Of someone else’s life

I did not choose this role

The role chose me.

I am the cushion for my friends

A sponge for a stranger

I take in what they cannot

so their slate is squeaky clean.

 

But what of me?

 

Don’t the sponge get dirty?

If it absorbs so much grime

Won’t it begin to degrade?

That's amazing, I'm a sponge to my friends, and sometimes a sponge needs another sponge to not go insane. This was a great poem bro!

[nigrum homonculus]

thanks man! yeah very true bro. not a lot of people listen though :(

[Baby Ricochet]

Bro that's painful. Good emotional expression. Great Job.

[nigrum homonculus]

ah yeah the life of a sponge. thanks for that man. i appreciate it

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

Sounds like a sacrificial offering of the self...noble sometimes, but eventually the sponge does need to get rid of all that stuff. Carrying other people's baggage all the time will indeed cause some painful and ugly stuff. Honest and insighful.

[nigrum homonculus]

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

[nigrum homonculus]

[Harley (arbiter)]

Listening. All that stuff remember? Besided even if I didn't you still could

[nigrum homonculus]

oh yeah i remember that but you don't owe me anything for it man.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Eh well I believe in fairness, a rock for a rock, but alrighty, still though I'm here

[nigrum homonculus]

thanks for that bro

[Harley (arbiter)]

Welcome, now do we need to plan anything about our special sports channel or is the current plan gonna be fine?

[nigrum homonculus]

[Harley (arbiter)]
