I wonder

I sit

Slowly collecting my surroundings

Grasping my circumstance

Letting the emotions of the room

Awaken reactions in me

 

I've always been emotionless

Living through instinct

You can see exactly what I feel

I don't hide it

Or fight to conceal it

 

I am plain

And obnoxious at times

Like an animal

Not yet understood

 

Perhaps I am the long awaited Sasquatch

And I've yet to be noticed

As a child I thought

I was an ape child

Because I wanted to be

Revered

And studied

I wanted the world

To take notice of me

 

But now

20some odd years down the road

Here I sit

Death has not stopped for me

Health has not left my side

Intelligence comes and goes as he sees fit

And the world

Doesn't know I exist

 

Would they even notice my disappearance

As I sit here

Chained by imagination

Watching his blades gleam

I wonder
