Replace old memories with new ones.


Strange is this world.
Never will I understand it.
My purpose has yet to be unfurled.
My path to recognition has still not been lit.
Out pours my heart and soul
yet to be understood.
I think I’m losing control.
All this suffering I have withstood.
Just what I have I done to them?
So I retreat to the corner.
My heart is the world’s most priceless gem,
but I feel like an unwanted foreigner.
I’m desperate for them to accept me
but all I can do is dodge the flying debris.

I wrote this one day after a group of students beat me down. It kinda helped me feel a little better.
