Understanding
March 18, 2023
Not everyone, not all the time
Trying won’t help
You lose touch
Lost, confused,
Fall into the distance
Disconnected
Floating, waiting to come back,
Back down to solid ground
Where I can understand
How do I get there
I can’t do it alone
I can’t ask
What will they think
Keep it to myself
Sit
Think
Cry
Bleed
Hope it will all pass
… Talk, scream
Fall further away
I shouldn’t have said anything
Hate
Discontent
Frustration
How do I make this stop
Bleed
Cry
Scream
I sit alone
Can’t move
Frozen
World is crumbling around me
How do I make this stop
Will it ever end
Screams
Cries
Violence
Finally,
Silence
