"I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be. So, I guess I'm on my way home."


I clench my fists.
unclench.
clench.
I should be angry.
I should be angry.
I should be angry.
unclench.

I squeeze my eyes shut.
open.
shut.
I should be hurt.
I should be hurt.
I should be hurt.
open.

I should be angry,
but I am not.
I should be hurt,
but I am not.
I should be upset,
but I am not.
I should be something,
but I am not.

It's as if I've lost all emotion,
or will to care.
I'm not even sure if I exist.
I clench my fists;
will my emotions to come back.
I should be angry.
I should be angry.
I should be angry.
I should be -

but I am not.
