    Is It Okay?

    Slit my wrists

    Blue veins bleed red

    Dizzyness setting in

    Birds keep singing

    The sky stays clear

    I know the world won't stop for me

    But is it too much to ask if someone cares?


    Pain is trivial

    Consequence, I can bear

    With everything and nothing

    Is it okay to belong here?


    Why do I cry?

    Why must I feel?

    Numbing the void

    Nothing left is real.


    No one understands

    No one tries

    Patience wearing thin

    Because of watering eyes


    The answers I seek

    Are the ones I already know

    The confusion sets in

    The black curtains fall


    Cloaked and scattered

    Can you see me?

    Trying to fly

    It all consumes me


    I eat, I breath, I move, I sleep

    Do I live?

    No, I doubt I ever really did.


    So. . . Is it okay to still be here?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
