Old soul

This world brings to much pain,

I am connected to it all.

I feel to much, most feel too little.

None understand me,

Sometimes not even my lover.

My soul hurts to be in this world,

because I’m not of this world.

I don’t feel at home,

Rather I’m lost and stuck.

I just want to go,

Get away from pain,

From blood shed.

I do not consume animals and I am mocked,

I do not party and I am boring,

I do not conform so I am wrong.

Why would I want to stay…where I am not welcome?

Sometimes I feel the same way. I think we all do. I always got picked on for being "too nerdy" or "too boring" or I would always get comments that being vegetarian was unhealthy or unnatural (I live in the south). My lifestyle felt wrong to me for a while because no one liked it but then again who are they to say I can't be me while saying that you should always be yourself ? I've always agreed with the latter, be yourself because it's the best you you can be! Beautiful poem! Written very nicely with a strong meaning to many!

This is like looking in the mirror. This is so beautiful. I feel like I do not belong many times because like you said I do not party or conform. The last line is so powerful. In a psychology lecture at school, it was mention that we humans for some reason we like to " stay where I am not welcome" or in the lectures words " we like to win those who dislike them or be accepted by them". I think the last line is the root of many people's unhappiness. This is very powerful poem. Thanks for sharing. N.
