I do not know how to live
I do not know how to exist as a person
All I do well is sleep and be alone
I am mesmerized at the people
Who are able to live each day with such aplomb
Able to find joy and peace in the banal things of this life
Everything is hard, everything is strange, and people scare me
I don’t want them to see the cracks
I am afraid they will see the animal underneath the skin
The heavy breaths beneath the porcelain demeanor
I hold onto myself for sanity, my silence is my strongest grip
Please show me how to do this, how to cope, to survive here
I have been drowning since I was born
My feet don’t move with the surety that humans come equipped with
Please show me how to be happily human.
