It is not a new concept,
Nor is it one exclusive
To me, except
My cries seem to be the ones that, like liquid through the holes of a seive,
People only take at face value.

What a disgust that they themselves call
Not for aid, but for chortles from the crowd.
I, too, would like those smiles, like to stand tall.
All I gain for my troubles is: 'you're speaking too loud'.

How I would wish that, too.
To speak loud enough that I can finally be heard.
To open my mouth and not rue
The thought that I attempted to put to word.

I can hear them now...
The weirdo, the gay, the not-so-good-looking, there.
Does it matter to them if I preen, vow
To not care? All I can say is silence. stare.

No effort to know why, if, how
This idiot, this creep,
Could be kind, fun, so now,
I walk in a state of eternal sleep.
Yes, this is just one of the Stream of Consciousness things that I've had written in my Poetry Book (mostly to just use my awesome Fountain Pen). I do this, in the absence of anyone TRULY close to me, just to clear my head. Ergo, it can be very depressing. Read at your peril. :)

There is nothing to be worried about. This is just for when I feel set upon, and showing that I know the reason, and want to somehow get out. Just one of those moods.
