i can't stop hiding

i'm just complaining


The light just seems to burn me
And the darkness is just too cold
There’s no place for me to rest me feet
And no one for me to hold

I’m rejected for my differences
Even the rejects point and stair
But I walk through life with this hardened face
Because no one’s going to start to care

Everyone around here knows me
They throw trash at me from there cars
I just don’t try to defend myself
Cuz’ I would be the only one behind bars

Things just might be harder for me
Then most the others in this town
But I don’t care because in a few years
I’ll be the only one around

when you live you begin to die
when you die memories of you life lives in others
when memories of you begin to fade
you truly begin to die

Interesting....I'm curious as to why you feel so isolated and different. Is it something physical that everyone can see? Is it literal, you are really the "outcast"? Is it symbolic, do you feel this way yet on the outside no one can see? But I do like the ending, I feel like through all the heartache and negitivity you are still going to rise above in the end. But I'm really interesting in knowing what inspired you to write this.

I have been rejected by a lot of ppl in my life but is poem is more symbolic than literal. The few friends that I do have don't really know me all that well so it seems that I’m alone, well…ya

when you live you begin to die
when you die memories of you life lives in others
when memories of you begin to fade
you truly begin to die
