My mind goes blank
I'm not happy
I'm not sad
Not mad
Or excited
Or scared
Or hurt
Or tired
I'm not there
My mind goes on vacation—
Without letting me know
I just lay there,
Wondering why I don't feel,
Why I don't care,
Why I can't cry,
Or scream
Or smile
Or laugh
The walls surrounding me blur
I hear a distant, "are you okay"
And want to say "no"
But an "I'm fine" escapes me,
Filling me with regret;
If I spoke,
Maybe I would feel
Maybe my mind would return
Excited
And happy
And sad
And angry
And tired
And alive
