From my book Trauma: Songs and poems of failed life pg 52
I hear music,
It saddens.
I feel love,
It frightens.
I see light,
It burns.
I touch fur,
I feel death.
—
I feel happy,
It’s fake.
I laugh,
It’s fake.
—
When I see children playing,
I only feel pain.
When I see families hugging,
I only feel envy.
—
When I touch art,
I see only struggle.
When I see accomplishments,
I see only wasted time.
—
I filter out any good thoughts,
I only see black and white.
No in-between.
