Array ( [sid] => 732 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => outcast [time] => 2002-07-19 09:58:13 [hometext] => i'm a high school student and i wrote this poem in may (2002). it is actually an 'echo poem' to kathleen raine's "unloved". i went through about 4 drafts or so of small changes until i came to this. that's all for this, feel free to email me if you have questions.

yeah and unfortunetly, the alignment get messed up when it's submitted...not all of the poem stays aligned along the left side (and the alignment is my favorite part of this poem...makes it more original, more my own). ok so if you're reallyreally interested, ill send a copy of the actual poem (w/ my alignment) but i sorta doubt anyone will want it that bad...alright now that's all. [bodytext] =>
i fall
void of the feeling of being loved
there is nothing left for me.

i must get out of here
i do not belong
an outcast.
my free will digs my own grave
as i do as i please
no inhibitions, restrictions, barriers
the causes of my exhaustion
that no one feels as i do
unable to go on.

i am on my own
a lone cloud drifting on a clear day
traveling the world
you’re all oblivious to my true presence
so i fly high above you
not because i am better
but to get away from you
searching for a sanctuary
stable ground.

i’ll fly with no boundaries
limitless
continuous
immortal.

nothing left inside me
a child’s hungry stomach
abandoned home
empty.
i have only my surroundings
My Sanctuary.

perfection.

though where one would not expect to find…
only perfection does not exist
cannot be
obtained
achieved
found.

where undiscovered octupi wander
amidst the cruel glaciers of Everest
a hundred thousand light years away
witness to more than i could ever hope
surviving
utterly alone.

i fade
sweeping across the infinite black velvet
i’ll disappear
slowly, but surely
never to return.
