This anguish leaves me grappling for questions
When there is no answer, no way
Nothing that makes sense in the ordinary world
You see I don’t belong
Never did …

Too much pain for one soul to suffer
Leaves me gasping for oxygen
Not fair,
I thought you were one of two who understood
You never really did, not completely
Or else
How could you treat me like this?
Not meaning to, I am certain
We all have our pathways and meltdowns,
Doesn’t lessen the pain
Searing
Scalding
Scraping the sweat from the inside
Between beats,
Slow
Without mercy …

Too many doors unopened
Left ajar for the light to peek ‘round
Too many keys on the table,
I’ve lost the desire to be
Anything more than an Oreo cookie
Crumbling sweet decay…
