I Like Sad Music

I like sad music
that wrenches the heart.
It drowns me with the feelings
of not belonging but deeply apart.

It elevates me to the likes of the
Gods of hurt,
because of this genocidal earth
I was broken
from the moment my senses
began to start.

I could never become a stone,
dance in delight with happy tunes,
be someone justifiably
cruel and uncaring smart.
