People don’t understand you
Your mouth has been sewn shut
You have sacrificed so much and are tired of staying silent
Anger consumes you
You, the oppressed have now become the oppressor
You swing at invisible invaders who threaten you
Everyone is the enemy
Everyone wants to cause you harm
You have come to the conclusion that you are alone
It is you against the world
You want to be happy
And you should be, you deserve it
Consumed by this quest for happiness
A blindness arises
You point the arrow at anyone who comes near
You shoot not looking at who it may be
You shoot your mother
You shoot you son
You shoot your daughter
You shoot anyone who has ever cared
We call out your name
We try to bring you back to your senses
You don’t hear us
You don’t look at us
You just smile
Look away
And say
I’m home...
