animal


(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.
