Title: I can't

Poem: I can’t explain it.
I can’t tell you what it’s like.
I can’t show you what’s inside me,
what I feel
what I think.

If I cut myself open
Would you see the blackness that I see there?
And if you could, would you understand
That it means forever?

I don’t want to show you what it’s like
To be me,
Because I don’t want you to feel what I feel
See what I see.

And I can’t tell you what it’s like to be me
Because it’s like grabbing a handful
Of my heart
my eyes
my brain
and trying to re-form all that those things are
into words....
