I am Human
Sometimes I feel detached
Distant
Separated
Apart from the rest of society
I’m not the same
I’m Not uniform
I feel like a gazelle in a lion’s world
A rabbit in a turtle’s race
A true fish out of water
I feel like an outcast
Like I'm surrounded by a crowd of applesThat all fell from the same tree
And I'm not even from the same orchard
When I feel all of these things
I always go to a list
A list of things that I know
About me
And what I know about me is that
I am human
I have something in common
with everyone else
I am a human

ReplyDeleteI really liked the way you relate this poem to other people, including me. I also feel the exact same way sometimes, and the way you wrote this poem with the similes and metaphors evokes a lot of emotion. Great job on this poem.
