Never Asked
Do you remember how it felt when the wind blew
pleasantly brushing your hair side to side?
It's a comforting feeling,
a feeling that one can appriecate,
Even though it is not expected.
Do you remember when you were
part of a group with others?
A nervous feeling develops,
but it's a feeling that can make new friends.
Even though it is not expected.
Do you remember when everything
fit so perfectly between your hands?
The feeling of being complete,
content with everything that was given to you.
Even though it is not expected.
But I didn't ask for this.
I didn't ask for responsibilities that are beyond me,
I didn't ask to be part of a group that is
crushing me with every ounce of power it has.
I didn't ask to be filled with information
Only to have it stripped away from me instantly.
I never asked for any of it.
But of course,
I got it all,
It was expected.
