I'm not from here

I'm not from here.

I feel so out of place.

I need to get lost somewhere -

Just leave without a trace.

These people around me,

They're so vile and close minded.

The things I hear every day,

I'd rather be deaf and blinded.

My mother said to me:

"Dear, your tries are in vain.

To be such a real thing in such a false place,

No wonder you're in so much pain.

You can always be like them.

It will be easy to lose your meaning.

But just look at them. Just listen.

Do you want to be a heartless being?"

I'm not from here.

I'm always out of place.

I need to leave... somewhere -

To disappear without a single trace.

You know, this poem holds more truth than not and it is unfortunate that society leans us in so many directions. In my opiniion, life is not supposed to be this way. You have expressed it nicely in your poem, you captured the feeling of someone who feels like an outcast. Very nicely done.

Thank you so very much! It really is an honor to have good review by a writer as good as yourself. And yes, I do feel like an outcast in my environment most of the time. Except here, no one really cares. Thank you again for the kind words!

[Jack...]

Well you are very welcome and welcome here. You should know that creative people such as yourself often feel different from others around them and that is because they are...but in a good way.

[LadySoDivine]

I agree :)

[Jack...]

Oh and just so you know, I am not that good of a writer, I just pretend to be. :)

[LadySoDivine]

Well that's the beauty of it, isn't it? If we're good at pretending, we can be good at anything.

[Jack...]

Exactly.

[Deeper La'jik]

You created this in such a universal way that I think a lot of people can relate.
