A wish to feel nothing

Sometimes I really wish I felt nothing

Sometimes I wish I didn’t care

I didn’t get to eat my ice cream

I didn’t get the toy I want

I didn’t get to play today

I don’t want to care

 

I didn’t get good grades

The teacher scolded me

The bullies came after me again

I don’t want to care

 

The person I like doesn’t like me

My friends don’t like the same things I do

My peers are not impressed with my work

I don’t want to care

 

I disappointed my family again

I disappointed my superiors again

I disappointed myself again

I don’t want to care

 

I want things I cannot have

I do things I should not do

I want things that are not mine

I don’t want to care

 

An endless list of unsatisfied desire

An infinite sea of disappointment

Never reaching my “full potential”

Sometimes I wish I didn’t care

Sometimes I really wish I felt nothing
