I have caught imaginations tongue
and found myself wanting.

How is it that i do not feel--
in the intensities others feel.

You know they say you've hurt me
with your emotionless.

What is it like to give a damn
when I do, but cannot break beyond
the surface.

What I mean is my
emotions do not connect with
my expressions, if i smile they see
it as a grin and ask "what the hell
are you smirking at!".

I'm just trying to be comfortable,
trying to laugh at nothing serious--
trying to interact without been judged
upon the state of my wordings,
I just want to be able to say anything
I want without it been turned into
a mistake...

I mean I know they say if they
are that bad just let loose and
let them float away.
But it seems to happen with everyone,
everyone.

Though I feel like I've done something
wrong, i'm a big disappointment,
i'm the wrong side of right--
I stay because there is something in them
I see, and only wish I had that sameness.

There is so much to ponder and identify with. The sense of wanting to belong and stay true to yourself is a fine line.

Excellent poem on so many levels.

You're different than anyone else. We're all different. That's why.

Non-conformists fight against the status quo, but we're naturally different until we allow ourselves to be herded into a 'pen'.

Thrive and rejoice in your independence. There's nothing to take too serious if it upsets your thinking.

Doctor's orders.

You write beautifully of paranoia with a beautiful naivety.

I hope all is better for you and your friends now than when you wrote this.

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...not like the passengers screaming in the back of his car.
