outcast

I seek shelter in the night as I
wrap the darkness around me 
like a black velvet cloak around 
my shoulders.

I've been an outcast all my life

lost in this world 

trying in desperation to find a place 
where I fit in

haven't I paid my dues ? 
how much more do I need to pay ?
my heart ?
my soul ?
both ?

with bended head I've prayed
on bended knees I've cried 
I ask 
Is each tear I shed 
for your lost soul or mine ?

...........no answer ................

I wrap the darkness around me 
once more as I seek shelter in 
the night

Cloak Comfort

Worthiness and self promotion, to toot one's own horn, to be a grasper taking little, but seeking everywhere answers can be life consuming. I am glad to know you via your verse - Just Bein' Stella
