Missplaced

I wake each morning a new battle,

one that I can’t possibly ignore.

I’m different, so out of place,

I don’t belong in societies core.

I’m sick of getting up,

Just to be out of place.

Living in this fake world,

Yet…I’m the disgrace.

This place just hurts me so,

Homeless, greed, envy and lust.

So many problems here,

Is there anyone you can trust?

My heart literally aches,

My soul begging to be set free!

But entrapped in this poison,

That’s slowly suffocating me.

My solace is being alone,

In a room surrounded by walls.

Where soft music plays,

For a moment escaping it all.

Have you ever felt this way?

For me, it’s becoming worse.

I can’t stay here much longer,

Is this my curse?

Did I disobey?

Commit sin in a previous life?

Is this really hell?

Is that why I’m living in strife?

Never to be good enough,

Always seen as odd.

Maybe that’s my punishment,

For disobeying God.

But dear Lord,

I ask you to forgive.

Take me away from this hell,

And finally let me live.

never knew u would b that gud... at this stuff. perfect rhyme absolute rhythm. and very captivating depth of content u evoke with. I ain't read it just as a poetry but also enjoy it more like a fabricated song that... speaks utmost the reality of youths & reflecting the pilgrims of their anxious + so depressive life. I must consider this poetry one of my fav. 'cause I ain't have any other option to admire ur work... in words. great work, sweetie.

The problem with the world now, is it goes to fast. News is instant. One day seems like five minutes. No wonder we need to retreat, find our own space. Apart from that, you gotta live it.

Maybe this is what the prodigal son was feeling when he left his father. I noticed a lot of writings involves a struggle in regards with God. This is are feelings many of us can relate too. It is an amazing piece of a person trying to find Amazing Grace. N.

Wow. This is pretty intense. I literally felt everything. I know what it is like to live out of place. I learned in a song by my personal idol Ozzy Osbourne called Civilize the Universe without the righteous, without the faithful we could never accept the obscene. And I realized being different is not a bad thing actually it makes you unique and different. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece. A job very well done.

Thanks so much for reading! I'll check out that song!
