TO BELONG



looking in

from the outside

lurking shadows

i wish to be

in the light

to be inside

and belong

a warm smile

to be counted

amongst the group

as i peek

outside

i never want

to step out

looks cold

out there.














Author's Notes/Comments: 

We always want to belong, don't we?  If we don�t, we feel left out and it�s not good for our egos.  Ah, human nature.

For Daisy: Thanks Dais for the comment. ^_^ But you know what? The last two lines are my favorites, I actually wrote those two before the middle lines. Iba iba siguro rhythm natin, salamat talaga sa pagbasa. ^_^ Belle

very good lines. though i was distracted at the last ones, "it's cold out there." i don't know if it is the rhythm, the tone, or the words. the last lines shall, in my opinion, bite some more.

I stopped by to read few of yours since you were kind enough to visit my site and comment. This poem was perfect for what I have been thinking about. Write me at bluesky@inet75.com if you have a chance and I'll tell you about it. Enjoyed this one greatly, V.
