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

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
