I wish
I could cough up
the self hatred
from my lungs
I wish
I could remove
the stench of
loneliness
from my skin
I wish
I could wash
the scorching anger
from my eyes
I wish
I could be someone
other than myself
I wish
I could cough up
the self hatred
from my lungs
I wish
I could remove
the stench of
loneliness
from my skin
I wish
I could wash
the scorching anger
from my eyes
I wish
I could be someone
other than myself
Nice poetry…
I just hope it’s not a personal experience

I mean that sincerely. We are all special in some way, and expressing one’s thoughts so beautifully is surely a gift.

I think I feel lonely because I connect or feel understood by other poets or writers by people I don’t even know but don’t connect well with people who I do know, if that makes sense. But what you stated makes sense.

I tell my daughter, who is Down syndrome, that being different is a good thing, because being like everyone else is boring and dull, whereas she is unique and exciting, and should never be afraid for being who she is. If people have problems with her, it’s their issue not hers. I love her personality and sincerity which you don’t see too often nowadays. Creative individuals are always layered with so many different emotions, it’s what makes them creative. They are what they feel and sometimes, that includes a darker side. Instead of loathing those parts, learn to embrace them and make them work for you. You will find yourself better for it.
