Where I Don't Belong

When my quest for life answers began, the questions I asked or observed I saw and took in a more hopeless world with hopeless answers, and found myself in a world of which I didn't belong.

Living in a world of which I don’t belong;

trying to find right in a world so full of wrong.

 

Finding the right answers is not an easy thing to do;

I think I find the answers then I find that there not true.

 

The harder it is to hold on, the harder that I try;

the more that I believe them the more they seem to lie.

 

So hard to trust in anyone no matter what I’m told;

I open up my door to them then end up in the cold.

 

The words “I love you” are so easy just to say;

they say that it’s forever, then they walk away.

 

So very many broken hearts all across the land;

in desperate need of healing, yet never offer their own hand.

 

It seems the ones we count on to take away our pain,

are sometimes there to pick us up, then knock us down again.

 

So I share some words of wisdom to chase away their fear;

to the words they listen, but the meaning they do not hear.

 

Why so much betrayal, this answer I try to find;

the more I try to understand, the more I lose my mind.

 

Trying to find the right, in a world so full of wrong;

living in a world of which I don’t belong.

I thought you will get up with these lines in the poem further... But as soon as i read ahead, i realised, you too knocked yourself down just like the others do... The most trusted ones do.

The poem is ironical.. Nicely penned :)
