YET INSPIRED

All my life I've been different,
Liking many things others don't,
When they would say, "It will",
I'd usually reply, "It won't."

Not that I was unfriendly,
Was rather easy to approach me,
But when I would share my views,
Seems most would readily reproach me,

So I spent alot of time alone,
Wondering why I seemed misunderstood,
Little did I know that one day,
This cold rejection would turn to my good,

You see, it forced me to turn inward,
And I explored the world inside me,
There I discovered a Mighty Creative Force,
Who's only purpose is to guide me,

Yes, rejection hurts a little,
Life may seem at times so mired,
But through the unjust pain of rejection,
You can, you MUST!
Remain,
Yet Inspired

About this poem:
Frank Zappa once said, "It's a drag being rejected." True. But to me, interpreting our world differently than most is evidence that we're on a more enlightened journey through this reality, whatever the f**k it is!?

Very nice write. You don't have to be in the spot light, just be you. Most famous writers have a rich internal self that when is given inspiration, blooms out beautifully.Thanks for sharing

Nice to hear from you SouthMiami Lady. I agree with you. I had a terrible time in my youth! I never fit in comfortably with ANY ordinary, socially acceptable, toe-the-line groups. I hung with the "heathens." My likes and lifestyle were not normal for most kids.
But deep inside I remained confident and Yet Inspired because I truly knew, many things, about alot of things, they they didn't know a thing, about.
And quite frankly, I still think that way when in casual or important conversations with folks here in Central Texas. Ultra-conservative area.blues
