Garbage

by rachel   Jan 7, 2005


Filthy and dirty, there’s garbage all around me
Over my head and to the side, there’s no way to see
Disgusting waste do I wade in, up to my knees
In my deep dumpster, there will be no clean breeze

Sticky and sweaty, I try to climb out
This garbage pit is deep; no way can they hear me shout
Useless items, nobody wanted them anymore
After brand new, they were thrown to the floor

In the debris I rot, with nothing left to see
There’s nothing to do, nothing left to be
The litter is my friend, it comforts my rotten heart
I should have been put here, from the very start

I lay in the filth, wallowing in my pain
Waiting for one day, for that ever cleansing rain
The smell is unbearable, there’s no clean air for me
Thinking to myself, this is where I should be

In this garbage pit, I belong with the trash
After I was the new, I was the garbage to smash
Thrown away quite rudely, nothing I could do
I now lay in the grime, I didn’t have a clue

This is my home, my life and my fate
The garbage and me, in common we have one trait
Unwanted and discarded, our decided role
Thrown away now, I can’t even feel my lost soul
