Category: Poem
Brief Summary: Thoughts Of An Outcast
Other Details: -

Reality means nothing, perception is everything
We try to deny it but it won’t cling
The saying, the words we try to take it for granted

Because in our head it isstill flustered
Should we care about all of the filthy thoughts?
They don’t even know us, isn’t that an obvious odd?
They said we are the doubters, but we do believe in God
But still, their perspectives and speeches hurt, a lot

Maybe we don’t belong, maybe we're just the exiles
Trying to fit in, but the world is another play of a child's
Maybe it’s them with constructed minds
Or it just us that's too blind to find

WE DON’T HAVE the right path to go
WE DON’T HAVE the right voice to mellow
WE DON’T have the perfect click to follow
WHAT WE HAVE IS JUST a cute cover to blow

We try our best to fit in
Still all of the efforts are blown away and drowning
Still people see the worst of us
They Lust for more and we start to fly dust

It’s time to seize back what's ours
The rightful mark to be belong and fuss
ALL WE WANT IS Society membership not TO BE freaks
Can we, or can’t we? it's just another break
Another swing we must alert ON To be apart, NO you! To be heard Upon

Yet another powerful poem, full of emotions that can be easily felt by the reader of this poem. The first line is very interesting. One could argue that reality is how we perceive things, in which case every single human being's reality can be different from one another. So when it was pointed out in the poem, especially at the first line, it definitely had the ability to pull the interest in to see why the poet says such a thing.

There are a lot of questions in this poem. And quite a few use of 'maybe' which shows confusion and insecurity, which I guess is the base for this poem overall. It's deep, it made me think, and it was enjoyable. Keep it up!
