Back together on the road again
Well, not really
More like
"On the pavement walking path again"
But that doesn't really work
At least not when it comes to the cliché

But that's not the point here
The point is, my group is together again
We're the strangest ones in school
And we like it that way!
It feels great to be labeled as 'insane'
Especially when you scare people by being 'different'

You get some interesting reactions then
People say, "Who are they?"
And, "What do they think they're doing?"
And other fun such phrases
Yes, we do some interesting
And sometimes-childish things
Around campus

We normally ignore the people who think we're stupid
They don't know us at all
They just think they can tell because of outer appearances
Well, they can all just shove it
We couldn't care less about those people

We're a group
We're a family
We stick together
They can't dent us

Not
In
The
Least

Thank you, LoveBug.  It's great to be here, I must say.  Since my last poetry board went down, I've been at a loss for what to do and have not been terribly inspired.  As you can see from the date on this poem, it is fairly old.  In fact, a remnant from the board I used to be on.  A fitting poem for my thoughts as of right now, however.

Again, thanks.  I definately am glad to be here at a place where I can share my poetic thoughts.  Thank you and the entire Netpoets crew for making this possible.

*hugs*

You can look forward to frequent posting from me.

WELCOME TO PASSIONS

your first post was very defiant
it reminded me of m junior high years as an "odd" kid!
in the end we all need to stick together and not let anyone tell us to break apart

Welcome to passions....nice post. I liked it a lot. Showed a lot of internal power within you. Stay tru.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

You know, I know of which you speak all too well.   I believe I knew a group like one you speak of.... well, I guess they were my bestest friends for a while. Judging people is wrong, and stereotypical. I think everyone at one time or another lives on both sides of the judging... good luck, and be true to your heart.

Welcome to Passions!!!! I hope you love it here like the rest of us! This poem was really good...I liked it a lot. I know how you feel about certain people looking at others as different or strange, but to me everyone is unique and there is no such thing as normal. I think its really good that you dont care about what they think or say, because you shouldnt. No one knows who you are just by looking at you. Great job!
