Looking In From Outside

Where should I begin?
Should I talk about my feelings?
Should I talk about all the changes around me?
As I try to live my life,
I realize that I am detached from it,
I see myself wake up every day,
Go out there and handle my business,
Then its back home,
I see myself walk into my house,
I see myself talk to my family,
I hear my contributions to the conversations,
But when I listen,
I realize that I am not part of them,
I try to understand why I have lost the connection in my life,
Why am I not happy?
Why everything I do seems to be done by someone else?
Who has stolen me from me?
I feel as if I am in a frozen state!
Please, anybody who can actually see me
Help me find my connection
For I do not know have much longer
I can look in from outside!!

It reminds me of emotions that can present themselves to students who are not part of the main culture in a classroom settings. Nice job! Thanks

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
