The Problem of an Outsider

A Poem

By Anne-Marie AltimoPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

i was alone in the midst of darkness.

Nobody could see me but i could see them.

Do they care about me?

Do they even love me?

What am i doing here on this planet?

I just want go home where i belong.

I was born in space.

where are all the weirdos hang out.

I should be there not here.

I feel out of place.

I feel like an outsider.

i feel like an alien.

But to them im just another human with personal problems

But it's much more deeper than that.

They just don't understand how it feels to be me.

instead they just mock me.

instead they make me look like a monster.

instead they underestimate my power.

I may have failed in the past.

I may have done certain mistakes.

but im not going to stop proving them wrong.

i will never give them the power to bring me down,

because they mean nothing to me.

To me... they are just humans... with their own problems
