Invisible Realm?


I cannot pretend to understand
that which I have not seen
for twenty-nine years.

Shall I offer my tears? Apologies?

What am I to do?

Do you not see that this
is tearing me apart?
Turning me inside-out?

I have no words left to hide behind-

Just me... Just me... Just me...

Why?

Why love me?
Why want me?
Why dissect me?

Why do I find such expectations
in what I cannot begin to understand,
or even see...?

And it seems that everything
in me is touched by it...

(Or maybe just everything...)

Do you not see that I am afraid?

Wouldn't it be nice,
to just claim insanity?
