Eeva Lancaster Poet Rhyme

Lament of An Alien

Always thinking of the right words to say
It would have been clearer if I said it my way
Even a move is a topic for thought
Always unsure if they get it or not…

Every small gesture is a means to an end
Each little truth is a point to defend
When something is different they see it as strange
It’s more than enough to make you deranged!

Always regarding the usual as norm
Always preferring when someone conforms
Thinking it’s better if they’re all the same
Each like the other except for their name..

Ain’t that a shame?

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty February 5, 2015 at 9:47 AM Ya sometimes we feel ourselves an alien in the society... an identity crisis...losing the individual self...so many biases..we feel losers...genuine question mark "Ain’t that a shame?" needs a rejoinder. A great poem Eeva (great name too) concept wise. Love>>Your friend rajat

Kp Nunez January 31, 2015 at 11:09 AM Eeva, I like how fluid the ink flowed from your pen to complete this poem. It's worth pondering upon...indeed, to conform does not necessarily mean it's better...for one can blindly conform not knowing the reason he/she did...while one can conform knowing full well it is the right thing to do. A 7 for me...WELCOME kabayan...KP ;D Eeva Lancaster January 31, 2015 at 11:18 AM Salamat Kim! :) i'm all for individuality. Nice to see you here.

Timothy Emmons January 25, 2015 at 4:00 PM I have been around the world and back, and the one thing I learned is that normal is hard to define. Normal becomes blurred and fuzzy. And that's just here on our little planet. I enjoyed your poem very much
