Of all that is given
I just can't seem to fall
Into your structured living

I swear I have tried
To be marginalized
But I just get so sick
On all of your lies

And I swear I

I try to unhear
I try to unsee
But the wasted energy
Just burns into me

And fuels my fire
A light I lit
To find my desire

An endless task
That I can not see
Through your twisted mask

I am aghast
And grasping for breath
In a bottomless flask

But I swear I

I have tried to see
All the great things
You told me about
And tried to show me

Absolutely
Apologetic
And despite the wear
I am energetic

But I'm grasping at straws
Trying to ditch
My mind's eye
That sees every flaw [comments] => 2 [counter] => 210 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Xnoybis [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

...yup...good job expressing the angst of trying to be a citizen of two worlds...Pandora's box kind of thing...once you've thought the thought any thought that comes short of the thought just shrivels...at age thirty-two I stopped trying to conform...

I try to unhear
I try to unsee
But the wasted energy
Just burns into me

...these line were particularly alive for me...

A beautiful poem.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
