foreign

i can't articulate what i'm feeling correctly,
nor can i pick out a single reason why
my emotions are in some obscure language
that i don't understand,
somehow completely foreign to me,
the person feeling them.
i'm feeling so much at once and i can't
exactly pin down why,
but i think that maybe i feel hopeless
and homesick and worried and sad
and possibly frustrated,
but i can't be sure and all i really know
is that i wish i was home,
i'm dreading tomorrow,
i feel terribly exhausted,
and i think i need to cry again.
