Have you ever felt like an outcast? There are those of us that feel "different" compared with others- those of us that walk to a different beat of the drum....
"I’d rather not say that I am insane,
My mind will not comprehend such a thing,
Nor would appreciate you to suggest so…
But it is absolute pain that erases the numbness..
Not a smile, laugh, frown, sadness…
Or your hand upon my knee…
It is blunt pain, that paints such a villainous smirk on me."
