Anomaly

I was born in the city But was raised in the country. Now I'm back in the city With no desire to leave. I am an anomaly Nothing special you see, I'm simply me. As i was raised in the contry I love to be surrounded by trees, Yet the city life has grown on me, And I can't leave it behind. I am an anomaly Nothing special to see, I'm simply me. Alone I become depressed, Lost in the whirlwind of my thoughts. But as part of a crowd I become Anxious and it won't be repressed! I am an anomaly Nothing special to see, I'm simply me. I have an intellect so high People said I was destined to be great. I no longer wish to be that guy. I simply wish to be happy! I am an anomaly Nothing special you see, I'm simply me. There are many more examples, And if still you don't see, well That's alright. only I can understand my anomaly. I am an anomaly Nothing special to see, I'm simply me. I know many won't understand me, For I am a flowing river Ever changing with the tide of time. Just as you are all guilty of that same crime! I may be an anomaly, But so are you Nothing special to see. A fact grasped by so few, and yet truly we, Even those who never knew, are all in fact our own ANOMALIES!

Heh,yes, it can be tricky, the right form. Most chosen are Free Verse (doesn't rhyme but has a lot of pother devices, such as internal rhyme, alliteration, assonance and so on) and Rhyme, which has end-rhyme.

It reads as a Lyric. I guess that's because of the repeating refrains. But this is a beautiful poem, with a great message

I decided to label it as free verse because I don't know what else it could be. A random rhyme scheme for most stanzas besides every other where the full stanza will rhyme. then factor in the final stanza, I don't know much about poetry terminology so if anyone could help educate me on the proper poetry form I have here I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
