Hello,

 

a few days ago I wrote this, and perhaps somebody can tell me something about it. I just never seem to be able to give my feelings a shape, and well, I just hope somebody can perhaps understand what I was trying to say. If not, I have failed once more. I'm not a poet, and English is not my mother tongue, so if you have any remarks about the language, please, you're welcome.

 

 

 

 

i'm a foreigner in your land

forsaken and afraid

'cause you're not willing to explain

a single roadsign to me

 

crucified

by every single word

every gesture

you didn't think about

 

when i lie in your arms

i lie at your feet

hopefully beaten

lovingly horrified

un-cared for

 

i am no human being

have no rights

no opinion

nor feelings that matter

 

silently

i cry out the dirges

for my courage

for my strength

 

won't you see me struggling?

you carry on

crushing my cries

under your senseless feet

'till a veil of frightened silence

covers them all

 

i love you

and i don't

 

know what it is

 

know who you are

 

 

who i am

 

 

 

 

oh dear life

i'm so afraid
