#misfits
I am a misfit since age 14
I used to have friends before then
But they all turned out to be fake
I was a misfit since age 14
But that don’t mean broken
Crayons can not colour
Of I am a misfit….
Not dead
I have been a misfit age 14
Being misunderstood for
Everything and everything
But this I will say now I am
36 and I am no longer a
Misfit
I am a someone who matters
With I fit in or not

They buried a small seed
In a dry parched land
The driest autumn they'd seen
Their aim being to destroy
Winter came, stripped every tree
Of its leaves,
Iced the land
Completely covering the ground
They thought that spring
Would be the thing
That would bury her deeper
Outshine her beauty
As it put blossoms on every tree
But summer's rain fell
She chose to heed
To nature's call to grow
And broke the land
Reached out her hands
And poked her head
Looking for the sun
To their surprise
A number of springs later
She stood among the sturdiest
With blooming flowers
Ready to bear fruit
And once again scatter more of her kind on earth

I don't make things happen
Things happens to me
I'm just a bystander
no one else can see
I'm just a witness
witnesses forget
I'm just a misfit
the misfitting reject

//I met you first, when I was at my lowest
I didn't know you, and yet,
you made me feel comfortable.
In those days, when we met,
I had nobody, and you,
you made me feel special.
In those days, I didn't know what to do,
but sometimes you make a choice
in the moment and you know in your heart it's going to change everything.
And in this moment, I trusted you.
I supposed that was love,
for I hadn't felt so ever before.
Our love didn't last long,
because of the differences
and time, and age, and what would people say,
because we were misfits in love, like you said
Oh dear, what would people say?!
Our love didn't last long,
but it did have repercussions,
the repercussions of my first love.
You left me, and now
I am nothing but a shadow cast by your remains,
collecting my broken pieces,
to be whole again.
Since you were gone, I was empty again,
but since you were gone,
I learnt to put others before myself
and since you were gone,
I learnt how to communicate and work out problems,
and how I wish we communicated.
With you gone, and with a feeling of loneliness,
here I am moving ahead in love,
to bear the repercussions,
which they say are hard to forget.//

Usually the underdog,
The weird -- the strange.
Unconventional in style,
But with an amazing range.
The distinction may be clear,
But he has already changed.
From the conformity to society,
To the death of Me.
To the tragic fate that awaits us,
Almost every single day.
We just try to fit in,
But who does that make us?
Just another one of them,
White-Collar with distrust.
Stories tell us to be different,
but in reality we shall halt.
The very thought of variety
Is to be taken with a grain of salt.
When it comes down to being true,
Just try to be you.
You won’t fail your own test,
Unless you catch the flu.
Sometimes it gets hard,
But trust me it gets better.
Play your own cards,
Just don’t be a setter.
In two years from now,
or maybe three.
Someone will ask you,
What’d you do with all that debris?
Tell them you left it,
Tell them wanted to be free.
And that now more than ever,
You can live peacefully.
As I said before,
Life can be tough.
But stand up and roar,
in that mighty Southpaw galore.

Sleepy Sounds-
cacophony of the
shared studio apartment
An island of misfit
toys
Some straight from
the factory with
missing parts
Some with
limbs lost over
time
All wandered/fled/abandoned
here
neglected/broken/discarded
Five sets of
eyes
finally closed to
imperfection/rejection/expectation
All found now
in this place
Whole

space on the shores of lake cresva.

What do you say?
Should I keep trying my luck at the human condition?
I'm struggling to believe the human condition is for all of us;
Because of the way we humans are hardwired to think and judge,
and as a result, the way we have constructed meanings and standards in our societies,
many of us are left with an appalling serving of the human condition,
with little other than pain, misery, and humiliation on our plates
So what do you say?
Should I abandon the human condition and maybe seek more transcendental avenues of living?
(it's not as exciting as it sounds because I'm compelled to consider it)
Or, do you think the human condition can still accommodate for the joys of every one of us?

Enter a life devoid of
what you
won't ever believe
you truly
take for
granted. You do.
How do I know, you ask?
Well, I have eyes.
It's not hard to see
your hardships hardened
your heart
to any empathy for us
so, I turn /OFF
too
so, **** You
What do I know of life?
I'm young /or dumb /and dumb.
I know that I live in a world
that venerates honesty but
punishes me for living with
a little truth.
What do I know of life?
I'm young /and dumb /and dumb
I know that dissent in a world
that venerates this openess
is, will be met, with callousness
unrivaled. unrivaled. unrivaled.

The years have passed
I thought they mattered
In sleeping so long
I come disappointed
Hip leading foot
Perpetually faster
Downhill
The fads have passed
I thought they would end
Well,
in sleeping so long
I come disappointed
Kicking up trash
Plastered in faces
Pretty in package
Marketable mouths
Dripping lips
Told what to say before
they understand a thing.
The years have passed
I thought they mattered
In sleeping so long
I come disappointed
Hip leading foot
Perpetually faster
Downhill
Your best friend sells sugar for pennies
and you say it's dirt cheap when you
know full well that you can find
sweetness herself in leaves.
In the near distance fires light
the violent sky, violet-black
in the orange-red we see
when we shut our
open eyes.
We always saw this coming
as our masters asked it
from us, but the
master never
was there

As a child
You always taught me
Family was important
Regardless the situation
I can always count on family
I believed that
However
Growing up
We weren't the perfect family
I was allowed to spend time with her during the weekends
And you, well mostly grandma
The weekdays
She wasn't perfect either
But at least
Before she died
She made me felt loved
I can't believe after all these years
You made me turn my back on her
Yes she could've ****** up
Or maybe you ****** up
Well I wouldn't know would I
Cause I'm always the last one to know about something in this family
But anyhow
She still gave me that love
Even til this day
I could feel it
Always wondered if she took me with her
If we left together
If I moved away from you
How would things turn out to be
You always said that she was this
And she was that
And I wasn't even able to defend her
But now that I'm older
And I'm figuring things out
I'm figuring you out
I'm finally able to realize all the faulty measures in this family
Why they both left
Yes
You may be right one out of three
But I'm going to prove you so wrong
I thought I got my heartbroken enough by my past lover
And now that it's healed
And I'm finally able to believe and trust someone
I'm content
And then there you go
The feeling of my heart breaking
Because of you
Just saddens me
I've never said you're a bad person
I've never said you've never carried your duties and responsibilities
Yes you have and for that I thank you
But besides all that
Just because of it
You think I'm going to stick around
To tolerate the mess you created
The person you are
Years I kept in inside me
Years you put me down
Never believed in the things I do
Always assuming the worst of me
Believing the lies people feed you
Over me
And you call yourself a -
It breaks my heart to even say it
I kept it in me for years
Never said anything to anyone
Thought that maybe one day
You'd realize
But as the years go by
You're becoming worse
Bad to worse as a matter of fact
Your favourite line that you love to use on me
I finally found the person that I am able to tell my deepest secrets
Not because I want him to judge you
Even then
I'm afraid because I don't want him to create this image of what an individual you are
Because you're still that person to me
However I'm a goner
I need to let **** out
If I keep this in any longer
Trust me
I might lose my ******* head
In this whole loop
I can't trust anyone
Not you
Not them
Not anyone
I don't know what the future may hold
Yes I may be with him for the rest of my life
Or I won't
That's for Him to judge
But it's alright
Because at this exact moment
He's the person I believe in
He's the person I love
And willing to make sacrifices for
He's the person you said that's not right for me
Well you're wrong
Dead ******* wrong
He's the person, the only person
I'm able to be my complete self
Without being looked down on
I may be foolish at times
Make stupid decisions
But that doesn't perceive me as an idiot
Am I right
Or nevermind
Who am I kidding
You'd say I'm wrong
So nah
I'm leaving
Could be now
Or tomorrow
And whenever
However
When that happens
I promise you
You don't have to see my face anymore
And unlike her, she came back
Oh, how sweet
But no
I'm not her
I'm not anyone you're trying to make me be
I'm a cold-hearted, selfless *****
Only to you though
So don't worry
I treat the people I love with gentle and care
And I found my family
And that's me
Him
Friends
Some may disagree with my doing
But I make my decision
I am living this life
I get to do this
At least this
For my sake
I'm done
Good riddance

we’re told we are round pegs in square holes
with minds and dreams beyond our years
so we grow to be into the world
as wary right-brained wanderers
oblivious misfits looking for romantic nooks
versions of our own leather-bound fears
seeking tales of the past and fantasies of the future
isn’t imagination real beneath all its layers?
soon you grow up and find your truth
this life is yours and not theirs to choose
maybe we are round pegs in square holes
with minds and dreams beyond our years
so breathe you, breathe to the rhythm of your soul
live not to be liked, live to remember
we’re only travellers after all
with borrowed time and experiences to treasure
then why live to be liked
when we can live for ourselves in golden measure?

Bodies belong
in the cold, cold ground
Bodies belong
in the heat of flame
Bodies belong
wrapped with me
Tight, and pressing
recent death to flesh.

Misfit, misshapen, misplaced
Not fitting in anywhere
I'm a pariah, a loner, a coyote
Stalking the fringes of society
Never seen, never heard, never felt
Only dreamed, and imagined, and feared
If only I had a place to be
A person to see
Maybe
Maybe
I'll see brighter days ahead
And love like a dove
I am alone because I am unique
I am myself, alone, nobody else
A drop in an ocean of faces
Yet an ocean in a world of drops
Always okay, always broken
Never whole, never fractured
A contradiction of opposites
A unity of abnormality

No regret,
But a realization,
That life is bigger than success.
That life means to share smiles,
Farther & wider,
No pains.
Share just happiness,
Ignore the sadness and laugh,
Nobody else cares about your tears.
In my dreamworld,
I had ignored my happiness,
Searched happiness in others' smiles.
This is a real world,
Survival of just the fit ones,
Traumatized live the idealist fools.

We are the extras the under rated, we are the ignored but the never to be forgotten. We are the rebels the outcasts.we are the ones who stand to the side and watch. We are the quiet ones, the shy ones. We are the loud ones, the obnoxious ones. We are the round pegs in the square holes,
We are the misfits

We don't do things because everyone else is doing them,
For us its not about impressing the crowd,
We seem odd and people wonder if its all pretence but that's who we are,
We were not meant to fit in but to stand out,
We have our own principles to live by,
We don't follow the crowd because we love to think for ourselves,
We're proud of being unique,
We love it and we have embraced it.
We don't care who judges us for it because that's who we are,
We are the misfits
