Empty

Just sitting here, looking
Out of the window
At the blue sky
And the sun so low; 
Just sitting here, thinking
Of how happy I am:
I haven't a care,
I don't give a damn; 
Just sitting here, dreaming
Of life's reality:
Violence, pain,
Apartheid, inequality;
Just sitting here, bleeding
From wounds to my mind
Caused by others' words,
Harsh and unkind;
Just sitting here, wondering
Why
I'm just sitting here, blind.
