my little hole in wisconsin

hiding from pain
running from tears
don't let them get close
and see your fears

put up your shields
try to relax
nobody cares
everything's lax

noone cares
noone sees
friendship and acceptance
things you don't need

shrug off the insults
ignore the stares
noone knows you
and noone cares

love is stupid
and they all can't see
the tears in your eyes
...outcasts don't bleed

I felt that way for a long time. Now I've realized that even though I felt completely alone, there were people there that cared about me and wanted me to be ok. I'm sure that there is someone out there that loves you, so you won't be as much of an "outsider". Sorry if that didn't make any sense.

I understand competely. I wrote this when I was in the middle of a really rough patch in my life, and I felt like I was truly alone. I know better now, andI'm actually somewhat popular (go figure). Anywho...
I'm in a much better place now than I was when I originally wrote this.

Thanks for reading my poem!

Been there -- have I ever! But never wrote it this well....even after the outcast learned to cast himself back in, which does eventually happen....
