Annie Lennox sings from a stereo nearby, and you just sit there, brooding-- staring at the horizon. Then the evening comes with its soothing cloak, but your face--pale, curiously fair, devoid of any emotion-- stay motionless, save for the occasional blink. And your eyes speak of weariness and unpleasant reverie. "There's nothing worse in life than being ordinary," you've been told and you almost believed it. People think you're weird and you almost believed them, too. But you're not.. You're strong, empathic, sublimingly humane. You understand people better than they will ever understand you. And though achingly rare, your beauty is never caused. It just is--intrinsic, Never borrowed. |

Born before her time perhaps - or something different? A very deep moving poem. I liked it very much You understand people better than they will ever understand you. This statement is very true for a lot of people. In fact most. A poem about loving someone for who they are |

A beautiful and sad all in one poem, it says so much of the human hidden beauty and misunderstandings, and acceptance as is, I've told my love I except her as is with no changes, this says something along that line. anyway I just had to stop and read. Joel I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

The opening line caught my eye, but the rest of the poem spoke to me all the more. Somethings we already know, but it's nice to hear them again. |

i feel this one beacuse i'm 17 and people my age don't understand me because i write and will keep writing till my death. because why my words i'll live on forever. and touch people by the gateway of my words and most poeple my age call me crazy. good work here love it. I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson- |
