Derecognize Poem by Birdie Anderson

I don't recognize this man
Who has blood on his hands
I don't recognize this boy
Who seems to know the ways of war
I don't recognize his voice
Sounds as if he has no choice
I don't recognize his life
Doesn't look like it's interested in mine
I don't recognize his eyes
Dialed and so unwise
I don't recognize his touch
What feeling is it
cold

Why are you so fearful of me
Why are you so afraid of everything
Why are running away, from your home
You have just returned
You don't recognize us anymore


I don't recognize his face
Dirty, out of place
I don't recognize his ways
Blurry, unseen by me
I don't recognize his whimper
I heard all the time now sounds like
hurt

Why are you so fearful of me
Why are you so afraid of everything
Why are running away, from your home
You have just returned
You don't recognize us anymore
