Poem Title:
Poem
When one feels like an Outcast, one can over compensate In ways that are extreme to try and change their fate. This can make them do things others cannot relate to, If they know not of such pain one suffers through. When one is on the outside, always looking in, Self worth and confidence, existence of is thin. This aloneness bearing compels the affected heart To seek ways to be accepted if only just in part. Often unconventional are the ways selected And so, often too are the ways by most rejected, Which then leads to a deeper desperation Of longing to belong to end the separation. Extreme behaviours can be of good or bad intention, But either way they are to seek and to draw attention To the fact that inside of their instigating heart, There is a place longing to belong, a very empty part. Many folks are heartless, cruel, insensitive; Shun, disown others who unlike them, live. With those who are different in various ways, Judgment's cast on through obvious displays. If one hasn't ever been on the outside looking in, They can't understand how one's feeling deep within Who has lost their self confidence, esteem, even worth, And will even question why, the reasons for their birth. We live in a cruel world where more and more are mean, Where more and more care not, it's such a selfish scene. More find reasons to use differences to others, cast aside, Than find reasons to in harmony live peacefully and reside. Too many humans blame those who different from them live To excuse their bad behaviour for kindness they don't give, But this reflects on 'them' poorly; they're just too ignorant to see. Those with malice who are so callous, the Outcast, they should be. Written by Artsieladie/Sharon Donnelly ©2016-11-13 06:58:00 (EDT) All rights reserved. It's good to keep in mind...
