I, A stranger
Looking around
Around a world
Where everyone
Recognizes each other
United in their own merrily craft
Where they all supply great support
In the essence of what they love
Smiling ear to ear in rejoice
Oh, This stranger, I
Crying diligently within
Suffocated with no answers
Dumbfounded by emptiness
Living in a world
So different from what I am
Looking up to the skies, I
Screaming inside “What have I done?”
Falling, Crashing, Laying down
Dreaming of a paradise
Where everyone is happily in peace
Even truly yours, Yours truly
Yet, I, In this paradox
Clueless and befuddled
Confused, So confused
Really in deep thought
Wondering, “Am I good enough?”
Oh, This sad event
Has no answer
But what it does give me
Is toughness, Motivation
As I must fight
And fight to make myself become heard
As this mind spins
I must take flight
Making this world smaller
So my confidence can ignite
I must become noticed
Even if I have to scream
My existence to this very world
Oh, This heart it pumps hard
For I need to roam
Farther, Farther away
Beyond this lonely existence
Can no longer be a stranger
Must venture out
Tearing all negative thoughts apart
No matter what
Even if I am not accepted
I can at the least never except myself
And realize
There are those who do notice me
And I thank them
With all of my heart
Yet, Why are most of them so far away?
