luci's poem

“Subject: Write a poem about yourself”

i dont know where to begin

i never tried to express myself deeply

i just never knew how

i guess it's just too weird where i've been

i guess it made me more feebly

and left me all alone here and now

yes, i see you teacher

i see you, dad

i see you, sister

and it makes me so sad

i know what you tried

and i'm sorry that you failed

you should have heard me cried

instead

you've abandoned my condition

guess i'm just a lost case

am i even understandable to others?

am i even real?

i had a dream last night

i dreamed of her death

and he didn't even look at me

i don't think it was a dream

more like a premonition

i don't have my place, here

maybe i should drown myself

who knows where i'll end up?

i never wanted to die

i just dont want to be there

i'm not part of this world

please

please

get me out of here
