There's an Edward Scissorhands
in every one of us,
and though we don't like it,
we can't do a thing.

We live our lives everyday
and struggle for something,
but for most people out there
we just don't mean anything.

And because we're different
and rarely understood,
we get ostracized for it
even though we shouldn't--

So we shut ourselves,
'tis redemption and solace we seek.
We dream of dreams--unforgotten ones--
where we are no longer freaks.

But who's more human here?
I beg of you, make me understand--
Is it the normal ones without any hearts
or the ones with scissors for their hands?

moshpit....so well put.  I felt this way for so many years...in fact, I still feel this way at times.  Loved the analogy to ES....also one of my favorite movies.  Like the way you think.  Hardrock

That was a very moving poem, and I also loved the analogy. Ed was truly one of us...

~Here, here,...I too like the way you think.  Mmhhmm,...very good writing and thought provoking poetry.  The end just sums it up so perfectly...Is it the normal ones without any hearts or the ones with scissors for their hands? Gosh,......wow!!!  Damn.  Enjoyed. *Peace.

Ok...have to admit...at first just the curious nature of the title drew me in...how could someone make a meaningful poem with a title like that?...but you did it...excellent job on the analogy and observation of "human nature"

Love one another-let God do the worrying,

It is the ones with sissors for hands.  I know it.  A gem of a movie, and a gem of a poem.  I liked a lot!

Damn now I'm going to have to rent the damn movie again.

love it the first time
and yes the scissors.

Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
