Misfit

Wrappings long have been trashed A few nics encompass some character Sunlight drenched a deteriorated discoloration But still bravely I'm standing tall Dark eyes forlorn for affection As time's quickly winding down A misfit struggling for acceptance Watching others merrily marching on Basement bottom feelings placate Another piece of lead has broken off Retired metal wheels of destruction Soon to be lying in a cloud of dust

We misfit so well, don't we? Little by little disintegrating. But I see you and you see me. It's okay.

Wonderful personification... And disturbingly, that's how I often feel and see myself.

Sometimes it feels this way, just keep standing tall and keep your eyes open, good things wait just over the horizon.

You get the feelings of being a misfit clothed in words so well, Tim. Dark eyes forlorn for affection...how moving...how deep.
