Holes
Do not belong in
Hearts

They belong in
Donuts.

Emptiness
Does not belong in
Souls

But in
Homeless shelters.

Desolation
Does not belong in
Brains

But in
The desert.

Cruelty
Does not belong in
Reality

But in
Storybooks.

So
How is it that
My heart has a hole
My soul feels empty
My brain hurts from desolation
And my reality reeks of cruelty.

I guess
I don’t
Belong.
