Freak On the Street

Sure, tell me I’m wrong But I’ll never belong Too much or too little Short or too long In a moment of joy I become too loud I search for a path To exit the crowd Yet, often I’m sad Though I fight to be glad My behavior screams “Ungrateful, she’s mad!” Who wants her around A pin dropping sound I tried to deny, though The answer’s been found For all of my life Daughter to wife I preached about peace But only found strife I admit defeat An offbeat fleet Lost in the crowds A freak on the street

It makes me sad to know life is such a struggle for you, Anna. I hope the writing is cathartic. I know a lot of folks who can relate to this poem. Me for one. Sometimes I feel like a freak too.
