Another

Vera Podell

And then he was a kid

The little child that never fit

And even though he really tried

He never did

'The world's not meant for you, my son'

Being himself

He tried to quit

But never could

So never did

'They'll never see you as you are

You must learn to compete'

He really tired

He really did

Looked at the sky

Where galaxy's heart beat

It says

'You'll never be complete

Until you learn to fight

And fit'

He really tried

He did

He did!

And once

For a split second

(Felt like weeks)

Tempered his greed

To become the guy

He'd never meet

He dropped his eyes

To see the shadow

Of the seed

That bore his name

'My sun

One day you'll treat

Yourself like you deserve exist

And even if world's not for you

You are who you're supposesed to be

The sun

The seed

The man

The boy

That never fit'

And once he moved his feet

The shadow moved with him

And somehow he did fit.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I\\\'d say this poem is mostly about finding your place in the world and the importance of also finding your so-called mentor or a supporter, even if your only mentor and supporter is yourself. \r\nI wrote it last summer by the end of a vacation that is still one of the happiest memories of my life. I feel like that\\\'s the reason for this poem being so \\\'light\\\' unlike my other writing usually being agressive or depressing or both, at the same time. The end of last summer was also the time I temporarly got out of my depression so that makes sense. (Now it seems like I am oversharing on the poetry website but whatever)

    Enticed to read it twice. Nice angles dome gentle and a few w an edge as if to say the path may match the phrase.
