From dusk through dawn
A whir of unsaid consumed me
I awoke quite forlorn
To the silence of Noone reaching out to me.
Busy busy empty buzz
Something missing
Never was
Wave of empty loudly hissing.
Stupid girl
Crazy freak
Forbidden world
Dared to seek!
Ugly fool
No one knows
Wipe your drool
No drama shows!
Tears pouring
Never felt
Freakshow abhorring
Audience knelt
Averting their eyes
Praying for sanctuary
A knife took me by surprise
The humans are afraid of me.
I fall to the floor
A hot wailing mess
I see them kindly
Each other address
Their kinsman
Their allies
The ones with whom they belong
Not the girl bellowing, 'please hear my song!'
If they avert their eyes
No pain they must feel
No nasty surprise
No need to help heal.
From dusk through dawn
A whir of unsaid consumed me
I awoke quite forlorn
To the silence of Noone reaching out to me

Wow... I could hear the depths of your soul, that song you sing is so beautiful. Never forget your vibration may be to high so you hide to make sure you make it by but others are waiting to tune in with you, so these unspoken words can be free and true.
Thank you again for sharing this, it resonated deeply with me.
Thanks PD. I used to believe there were some of these 'others'. Believed it so hard I never gave up.
In the end it was the 'others' who made me feel most pain.
My desire to belong to a crowd of anything disappeared somewhere between my teenage years and university.
But then when you cast pebbles anyway and the river swells around your stones. Well I was convinced that connection existed. The pain of being cast out from the river was so much harder than the pain of being cast out from the crowd.
So birdsong it is then!
Great title, some great lines and a whole lot of great insights shared.. if indeed autobiographical.... I hope you just made it up, but then I'm a great big softy ....
Who knows?!
