A misfit in my own world
I am undefined
by the firelight
It’s flickering light tells me.
Who am I meant to be?

Original name
un-original clothes
My style is not shiny
my body not perfectly composed
No dramatic labels

A blue flicker
Lighting up a porcelain face
She is outstanding
Is that who I want to be?
I have only compromise

Sickness lines my organs
ashamed by me
un-found in my own skin
rejecting red shirt, blue shirt and green shirt
my room doesn’t even stand still

a private mockery
hiding within melancholy clothes
folded between rainbow laundry
a faded eclectic collection
sick of nick-nacks

Do I start from the beginning?
Ending unclear
should white cover my walls,
with splashes of colour?
I am not any different
But I am not the same.

I like the title of this poem, it fits the body of work perfectly. You write well of the pain of being different - and yet it's that difference that gives you abilty/talent to articulate those feelings. You are indeed a poet my friend.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
