Burn

I don't know

How can I feel everything and nothing

Love and hate

Sadness and lightheartedness

All at once

I don't get it

I was fine a moment  ago

I don't understand

This never bothered me before

I don't grasp the fact

That this is me

I don't see how

These hands are mine

Please explain

Why I'm never the same

As I was five minutes before

Why one day

I'm fine

Happy

And excited

Feeling alive

Then the next

I'm not

Happy

Or excited

And I'm dead inside

Tell me why I only light up

When she texts me

Tell me why

I can't comprehend

My own feelings

Tell me why

I'm getting worse

Why I must

Peel the skin

From these foreign hands

To find the control

That has left me

Why I must

Split the flesh

Of this unrecognizable wrist

To expose the

Simplistic life

That I dream of

Why I must

Rip out every golden thread

To unearth the calm

That I desire

Tell me

Why this forest 

Must burn to

Appreciate the breeze.
