In comparison

In comparison

I become reduced

Less than

A question mark

Following then ending of

Someone else’s clearly articulated sentence

In comparison

My soul begins to be erased

As I fall down to a place

It seems almost impossible to rise from

In comparison

I am no longer blessing to myself

To others or to the world

But curse

Something or someone worse off

Sidelined ignored

Or only fit to be stepped around

In comparison

I hear nothing else

Than the devastating sound of my own

Relentless self doubt and self questioning
