Number
Location
I am a number.
A total which defines me.
It says whether I am brilliant or remedial,
whether I am present or absent,
whether I ascend or decline.
A statistic amongst the world.
Numbers do not feel.
Numbers do not want to cry or scream.
It's illogical for a number to be anything
but a stagnant symbol.
I cry.
I scream.
I sometimes want nothing more than to quit.
So how am I still a number?
