The Revelation

What day is it?

I can't see anymore.

The sound of the clock ticking

Becomes my company while on the floor.

 

Why can't I move?

I feel my heart beating

But I just can't get into the groove

Of what other people are thinking.

 

Is it because I am odd?
I don't understand the topics

Did you do this God?

I am starting to feel like I'm in the tropics.

 

My heart starts to race

I can feel the sweat of inspiration rise

My mind begins to pace

And decide to cut off all ties.

 

I am different, I won't deny

I can't follow you anymore

You will just have to comply

Because I will become restored.

[J.M]

Evocative and definitely thought provoking. As has been said many times before normality is a severely overrated delusion - we can't all be unique, special and normal - it's just too oxymoronic. Love the poem though - very imaginative and inspiring.

Most people who are different or "Odd" try to fit in again like the other poem I like this ending where instead of trying to fit in you tell everyone they must comply which means they have to fit in with you. Very nice touch. Excellent write.

[Rose]

Thought provoking, and very intense.

[Cricket Kidd]
