Logical

It's like standing on the edge of a cliff every time I think about it.
I want something to happen. Anything at all.
Just a change to let me experience something new.
I think about it logically and it makes me angry
I use my head and I become upset
Nothing about him is right. Nothing about anyone is right.
When I think about it logically.
Why is it I feel so contained and ignored?
I sit in the grass and soon the green blades lie in my fists.
I start to walk that direction but soon I jerk and turn the other way.
I wonder why I let myself care so much
About nothing
Really
Sometimes I want to yell
But I don't
Sometimes I want to do something crazy
I never do.
Because it's not logical.
Maybe it's not supposed to be.

I like the flow as the poem approaches its end.
