Text Outcast

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Just a poem I wrote. Well, I think it would be a poem, though I am not "genre savvy" with poetry to say the least. So yeah, I am probably just driving people away now... Well, with out further ado:

 

Outcast

 

I am the outcast,

behind this veil I hide.

I am an outcast,

behind this mask I cry.

 

I am the outcast,

my mind cold and calculating.

Behind a veil of mystery,

I hide myself from eyes the of prying.

 

I am an outcast,

you see only my light.

Behind a mask of happiness,

darkness does lie.

 

I am the outcast,

scared of all who approach.

Though I seem calm to you,

behind my mask of composed complexion.

 

I am the outcast,

not a single friend to my name.

We may jest together,

but inside we are not the same.

 

I am an outcast,

to you I stand stalwart and proud.

Inside I kneel weak and helpless,

the fear corrupting me.

 

I am the outcast,

you see me and know nothing.

To some I am an intellect,

and others beyond comprehending.

 

I am an outcast,

but do not wander nor tarry.

For on the outside I am gilded,

and inside condescending.

 

I am the outcast,

but you see what I show.

Behind a mask of half-hearted truths,

I live in a world all my own.

 

I am an outcast,

but to myself I fit in.

To you I may be different,

but to me you are completely foreign.

 

I am the outcast,

but do not feel sorry.

Understanding one another,

is a conclusion long forgone.

 

I am an outcast,

scared and sorrowful.

But I am one of you,

happy and carefree.

 

I may be an outcast,

but what are you to me?

You connect me,

to a world unbeknownst.

You and I are not so different,

in life and death we are one.

 

I am the outcast,

but to me we all are human.

My ideas may be different,

possibly nonsensical to you.

But all are citizens of this earth,

and in this I belong.

Thanks guys! I am glad you like it. I was "inspired" two nights ago when I was feeling really depressed, but luckily I don't feel like that often (only when i get very stressed out). And I guess I am hard on myself because I don't often write poetry.

 

Anyway, thanks again for your comments.

Yeah, that was me for a few years...

Kinda makes me think of the Phantom of the Opera.
