I Don’t Understand

- A Seven of Nine (from Star Trek: Voyager) poem

Written by Nadya aka AngelMercury aka Naomi Tribble on March 8, 1999

 

I don’t understand.

This life, this world, this goal.

I don’t understand.

 

I was whisked away by the wings of the raven,

Carrying me to unknown shores.

I was absorbed into the darkness, having no choice.

I didn’t understand then.

 

I lived without living,

I killed without knowing,

Existing in an ocean of empty souls, having no choice.

I didn’t understand them.

 

I was rescued from the nightmare

By warm hearts just as lost as me.

I was not worthy, I was confused

It was like coming home without a choice.

I still don’t understand why.

 

I walk among them, they are my family,

But I can’t help living in a cold shell.

I want to reach out to them, I want them to reach out to me...

Now I have a choice, but I am not sure I can make it.

I don’t understand myself.

 

I‘ll try to understand.

This life, this world, this goal.

I’ll try to understand.
