I am...
The life I've led is futile. One could also say it is mellow and plain and while I don't remember my origins, I do have some faint memories of my adolescence.
My birth must have been in a factory because most of my life I remember being under a tall concrete slab. The roof was high up and it was all one could see most of the time. All of us were born and bred here. There were humans around but they minded their own business or shifted us about from one container to another from time to time. Things never came to be for us. But then, one day things suddenly changed.
It was all so strange. One day, we were suddenly put in a container of some sort; all of us stacked in an orderly fashion, mostly on top of each other. It was stuffy and we were all cramped for hours before we had a whiff of fresh air. I took a huge breath in upon landing outside since it felt like days and not hours.
We were out in the open air but as it turned out, we weren't any freer than we were before. Lined up in a neat little line, we stood directly under the sun. The sun wasn't doing us any favors either. It had turned up its radiating energy all the way up to high. Standing in an uncomfortable environment, I realised I had been ungrateful to my place of origin for so long. Without legs, I had nowhere to run and once again, I was at the mercy of my superiors.
It must have been 3 months before I was pulled out of the hot sun and slid into an icy compartment. The environment was much more bearable now and my hope to live came back but unfortunately, the space I was in was much more cramped than before. No fresh air rolled through us. Me and several of my companions and a few fresh new faces became close friends in the short period before I was bought by a customer.
I can't say my owner was harsh but he was certainly the most peculiar. He didn't use me right away or at the very least, acknowledge my presence. He simply tucked me in the tote hanging from his shoulder and took me to his home. There, he shut me in his icy compartment and forgot about me henceforth.
An eternity later, I was finally withdrawn from my modest location and finally put to use. It was the single biggest achievement of my life. The feeling of pleasure upon being relieved from the pressure I was in was insane and unfortunately, it will remain the last time I'd ever feel so. Immediately after, I was crushed and thrown amongst the unwanted ones.
I remained amongst the unwanted ones until I was transferred to a bigger, more global unwanted ones' locality. I was, once again, reminded of my youthfulness when the sun beat us down and rain felt us up more closely.
For years, my broken, damaged body remained exposed to the elements of the earth and nobody came about to give us a proper ending. As I speak openly about this now, I hope you realise I still haven't met the proper ending I deserve. I've just been floating away on this endless water body for years now, hoping someone sees me, hoping that they, even now, hear me.
