Kid in the Corner

Can you hear my words? Can you feel my pain?

It’s like I’m dealing with numbskulls even when I dumb down what I explain.

I’m so alone in my home and so alone in a crowd.

I can connect with people in some Internet cloud,

But the people around me feel like they’re farther away.

So many people act puzzled at the things that I say.

I’m not joking about this. There’s no grin on my face.

Sometimes I feel angry when I feel out of place.

And lately that’s been the only consistency.

I’m always asking myself why does it suck to be me.

why does it suck to be me. If we had the answer to why it sucks to be who ever we are.....what would it be worth.
I feel like this pretty much every day and so I found this poem relevant.

It's a strange predicament to be in because I find myself glad that I am not somebody else.

I can relate on this one. Those of us who are born thinking a little different, sometimes ahead of the curve, bear a unique burden. I liked this write and its message.
