I'd be angry
I think
If I still possessed the ability
To experience a full range
Of human emotion
Shades of grey
Are all that I know
But sometimes
I watch the news
Or read an article
And for a moment
My apathy is shattered
For a fleeting second
I am angry
I am furious
And I am fire and brimstone
Personified
Intent on raining hell on Earth
For the injustice
The greed
The cruelty
The ignorance
That seeps from every corner
Like lava
Engulfing everything in sight
But then
My blinds are once again drawn
My fire is suffocated
I am sedate
And in ashy greyness
I sit
Unfeeling
Once again
Unfazed
By all that is wrong
Unequivocally
And
Unblinkingly
Apathetic
It's what they want from me
But I'm still unsure how to be free
