Different from the Rest
Losing sight of innocence in mankind
Striving to stay alone allows peace of mind
He frowns at my efforts to be like the rest
This burden weighs heavy, heavy on my chest
In the end, I hope to find myself free
If only this illness would let me be
i really liked this poem. I feel this way sometimes. It is really heartfelt
Wonderful writing! I believe this to be about the pressures put upon us by modern society to conform to what IT believes to be the normality. Constrictions and labels tend to be tagged onto us daily these days. Poetry can liberate the mind as well as the spirit, and sublime, intellectual writing like yours (with a strong independent message) is in short supply. I found your writing a breath of fresh air, and look forward to reading more from you. Well done.
