I started having the thoughts when i was a boy.
I started acting strangely when i was a boy.
My parents thought i was an evil child.
My friends said i was an evil child.
The priest said i was an evil child.
I knew, telling them was useless.
Because nobody understands.
I told my girlfriend when i was a teenager.
I thought at least, she would feel what i felt.
But she stopped returning my calls,
and she left me.
She also took the cat from me.
I knew, there was no need to tell any more girlfriends.
Because nobody understands.
I told my workers when i was a man.
They told my boss, and my boss spoke with me.
I tried to tell my boss how hard it was to focus at work.
I tried to tell my boss about my thoughts.
I got fired.
I knew, there was no need to tell any more employers.
Because nobody understands.
I told my body when i got hit by a car.
If nobody understood, my body would understand.
But my body ignored me.
It laid there, sleeping peacefully.
I knew, there was no need to tell any dead bodies.
The dead do not understand.
