Un-Accepting Race

Trying to find yourself in this world, that's filled with so much un-acceptance and pain, is like trying to fly, or find someone else to blame, it's pointless, nearly as impossible as it would be to keep sane, in a room with no light, nothing do to, it's pointless and you will always lose. To find acceptance in this un-accepting race, would be like trying to stay in in an unwanting place, or trying to make a light, with your own bare heart, yes it counts for something, but it doesn't help you in the dark. But who cares what they say, in this world made of pain, they can think what they like, put you out in the rain, you just have to be strong, and find a way. School teaches us to live, be free, make the most of who we want to be, so don't follow the crowd, just to keep from getting shut out, be who you want, that's what life's all about.

I Never Have Liked This World Nor Myself; Actually. Although, I Could Have Somehow Someway Blindly Stumbled Into It's Pagan Grips ? Spent This Blink In Time Walking Through It's Winding Halls Of Ever Flowing Bullshit....I'd Rather Be Tortured Amid This Fiery Kiln It's Trial Then, Sold! Congratulations, Upon Your Lovely Beauty's Feature Here At Her Loving's PoetrySoup ~ My Love, Always, John

The world is filled with so much despair~too much. People always trying to justify wrong doings and blaming others around them for their own mistakes. People judge someone for doing the only thing they know how to do, the only way they know how to live, survuve, people mock them, because they do not understand. The world can be a cruel place if you see it through weakend eyes. Lucy

Welcome to this site. I know you will like it here. Not bad for a first submission. In your twelfth line, just remove one of the "o" letters in "loose". What you have there is something unrestrained and moving freely, or a lid that is not closed tightly.
