Are You a Misfit

ARE YOU A MISFIT? Per chance, in this universe, you are one? That feeling, somehow you were born in the wrong century. You might look at common dress. You see it as dull, sloppy and freaky. And you want clothes gallant, elegant and even a tad cheeky! Or the sense that you are a lone driver, facing four lanes of oncoming traffic! You ponder, what have I done wrong and down comes the pain and unbearable panic. You get invited to an elegant soirée? There you are, chandeliers and escargot galore. However, you are pitifully ignored,feeling like a worn out mat, lying dead at an abandoned cottage door. Now, let’s look at the way people think. You see them as horridly light to heavily stuck in their brains! Poor suffering you! You suffer from the thought they want to drown you with rats in a drain. You suffer grossly from I-itis! It’s time to give to the world, as it has given so much to you. And realize, they are not perfect either... Give those people more than a chance or two! 5-16-2022

Me, too!! I have been marching to my own inner band since I was 19! This attracts individualists... Follower-types dislike me intensely. But Paula, I do not bow and smooch derrières. I am not one to be on my knees. Never, never! Always a party in the soul of my soul. My passion is for anyone who can think outside the box. Hope I made sense? Panagiota

Welcome, Bill. Just listed Little Texans Bound for Heaven. This will go on and on..Texas had enough murders. Illinois had 857 killed last year. AllDemocratic presidents and Congress never go there. Each weekend a shooting gallery? It’s more than sad. And it’s time to not say guns are badl police getting killed left and right.children? Disgusting! Tragedy. Pangie

It was a unique write for me. Too many people want to be like others. When the gold is within them! Pangie

Love it John! Of course, you must know I agree with you. I love stealing the drum. My poetry is all about ones bein true to themself first. If you cannot do that! You are a fake and a flake. I do not mean you, just all humans applying to all beings! A huge waste if time to please the crowd. Pangie
