Social Misfit

by Jacki   Nov 19, 2004


Paint in her eyes, black as night
Her smile is full of pain.
But shes outside singing in the rain.
Always watching her from the distance.
A cross she wears around her neck.
And the cross she wears is placed
upside down while her fingers stroke it.
Her giggle is tainted with evil.
Our eyes never meet and our glances
never make it to the next level.
When walking past I pick up speed
and put my head down facing my feet.
She just stands there arms out
twirling in a circle, singing her
melodrama songs.
Her fantasy's about her death
her knife she plans on using.
She says the voices agree.
Transformed from once
a lovely girl,
unto this monstrous infection
of our society.
I fall in with the rest, never helping her
with her illness; passing her
off as another social misfit who doesn't
belong on my street.
Then one night I heard the sirens
playing music in my ear.
I couldn't move my body lay limp and lifeless
blood oozing out of my wrist.
Oh shit, the girl was me.........

    The reason why I just wrote that comment is because i didn't inted it on being filled with anger, more like filled with sadness, and filled with sometimes even though we see ourself one way, others might see us from another point of view, and when we have a mental illness sometimes we don't want to give into the darkness that we know we are or know we have. And thus falling into the rest of societys outcasts. Now that i've cleared that poem up i'll stop now lol

    For me the poem means that she knows she has an illness but shes not helping herself. She figures shes just another social misfit, but she doesn't reilze the degree of her pain. And so one night she commits sucide and everything falls into place....
