Poem: What’s wrong with me
Why can't I be
just an ordinary person
living ordinarily

why am I so sad
why do I have to feel this bad
why can't I be an ordinary person
watching TV

i sit upon the hillside
looking out into the world
wondering why my hart has lost its love
and why my mind has so unfurled

i think of many many things
from atoms to the universe
i watch the stars pass overhead
and wonder if i’m cursed

i think of you with teary eyes
and fall into a dream
i wish that i could find the strength
to fight my way up stream

but the river of despair has court me
every single day
wishing in my arms i held you
i’m washed away
...
