A Poem by N.A.
"

This is about alienation.

"
I am like an ugly heirloom 
you feel guilty about throwing away
And you can mimic 
comfort and joy 
in the threshold of change

I can smell your fear
Another burst of anger
and frustration
We sit in silence

I float away
to preserve myself
It is hard to do
because the air is so thick
It's filled with your emotions

So ugly
it glares right at me
vulnerable
broken
loud
sharp
and stupid
I am not welcomed here

Not in the drawer
not in the rooms
not in the yard
not in the parking lot
not somewhere around the block

You treat me like a guest
and not just in your home
No
not just in your home
