I should be, but I'm not, di Victoria Williams

I should be, but I'm not

I should be accustomed to the fights.

My ears should be used to the shouts and scream,

My eyes should be used to the angry and miserable faces,

My mind should be used to blocking it all out,

My heart should be concrete by now.

But they aren’t.

(2014)
