Odd

roxanna

Different from this world. 

Exempt from your group. 

That is the oddness of this life. 

Ain't unity the whole purpose?

Still, I am treated as another. 

 

I smile.I play nice.

I do everything right. 

But still, it isn’t enough. 

It still isn’t enough for you. 

 

The light shines through the cracks

The dark breaks slightly

And without sight of the pitiful stars 

I drift away in the sound of your cries. 

 

The blood runs on the bathroom tile 

The silhouette of death stands before me. 

I smile a little, tasting my salty tears.

Different from this world. 

Exempt from the group. 

That is the oddness of this life. 

The oddness that I got tired of.

    hopefully the graphic self harm imagery
    is just to emphasises the despair
    in your poetic voice..
    outliers and outsiders
    are two sides of the same coin
    a flip of fate
    and now the nerds rule Hollywood
    that's not saying it's not hard
    solitude and loneliness
    can also be two sides of the same
    painful coin...
    I think our best option
    is to try and survive long enough
    for the universe to remember
    we too, Matter!
    (hope things get better, stay strong
    thanks for sharing)
