(poems go here) I’m where I shouldn’t be. Learning what
I can’t understand.
They’re only teaching me that what I do
is no longer what I know.
And I’m not young enough to be lost and
I’m not strong enough to accept that the
only thing I knew was a lie, I’m not strong
enough to accept that now that I know
nothing, I’ve no possessions to live for,
nothing to protect.
It was my life but I lied to myself.
Now I feel like another animal, whose
life means surviving.
