Outside

Born on the outside of the world 
Everything seems so strange 
Never felt like I belonged 
Success is the only thing that keeps me tethered to the absurdity 
The pain of fading consiousness in the last lap is the only reality 
Everything else is trapped in another world... Don't know where don't know why don't know how

Nicely done Phillipe,I don't know if it is a good thing or bad, but I for sure take advantage of it. :), Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT
