PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i'm on the outside of it all.

i'm not human enough to function in this machine.

i'm not pure enough to live inside all of this dirt.



i drift slowly away from you.

these problems; you would never hope to understand.

i know inside you'd rather not care anyway.



and so i'm all alone;

looking for something that can never be found;

for these dreams have forever been shattered.



i'm the one who searches,

because nobody wants to find me.

i could just hide myself away,

and no one would look for me.



it's your world that's disposed of my hopes.

it's all of you who have cut away my ropes.

it’s your world, not mine.

your world, not mine



i’m always on a dead end,

and every arrow points nowhere.

i'm always on the wrong path,

left behind in a world i don’t belong to.



everyday i find myself a living target.

so take your aim wisely, and send me far below;

so far down from the light of life.

i'll never learn how to swim.
