The Common Place

I don't like being called a loner, and being ridiculed later; my withdrawl from life has taught me the hardest lesson of all times...one so unforgettable! My strides were never recognized, or much less ignored; I mourned life instead of death, as boring days brought in contention... I was becoming very insensible! I didn't have a chioce, but to join the common place to activate inside an incredible rage; I refused to realize that working for a wage had a purpose and esteem... something that felt so genuine! People from all walks of life sometime have joined the common place, having swayed from their path to experience a horrible heart-break! I have never found the way to riches, to laud myself and impress others with the sum of my fortunes or the glitter of my jewels; I remained in the common place to retain my humble spirit and take away my ironic smile: to see the possibility of my potential!
