i'm afraid to leave my bedroom
i'm afraid to talk to any of you
i'm afraid of doing anything, of not knowing what to do
i'm afraid of having opinions
i'm afraid of being wrong one more time
i'm afraid if i say nothing i'll still be on the wrong side
i'm afraid i don't belong here
i'm afraid i'll never belong anywhere
i'm afraid what community i do have will just tear apart at the seams
and i quit my job to grow a vegetable garden
but i haven't touched our vegetable garden even once this year
i'm too tired to call my parents
i'm too tired to write to old friends
i'm too tired to put away my laundry to clean my bedroom to do my dishes to mop the floor like i said i would to get out of bed
to belong to a community
is it the black mold killing me
or the dumpstered peperoni pizza that i ate too loudly
i'm afraid that what community i do have will just tear apart at the seams any time now
