I want to feel nothing.
For just a minute,
I want to feel nothing at all.

Please.
Hank Helman Dec 2024
Can we feel another's pain.

Yes of course.

It is exactly the same as yours.

Pain unites us.
Hank Helman Dec 2024
Run away.
Run far away and do not look back.

If you do the bear will catch you.
Hank Helman Dec 2024
Stop.
Just stop.

NO
Hank Helman Dec 2024
Why
Please do not feel sorry for me.
I am broken yes.

But no more than millions of others.

Life is unasked for,
And yet here we are.
Hank Helman Dec 2024
My family was a jig saw puzzle,
And I was always the missing piece.

Always.
Hank Helman Dec 2024
Tears are not sadness.
Empty eyes are.
