Poem XXVI

[OC]

Away II


There are things I want to say but can't
For fear of misunderstanding
so I'll keep them to myself

But how sad that is

You'll never know how I feel
and I feel something wonderful
and for this I blame the world

And myself

You expect me to be this one thing
But I am not that one thing and so
I am not what you expect me to be and so
My wishes die badly

So away I'll stay
