Myself, I, and Me
I can’t help but feel most days
That I was born to late
Like I just don't belong
Like the world is dancing to different song
Could I be wrong
I have a hard time understanding the "Social Norms"
So I lurk in the shadows
Hiding from the light
Just out of sight
Like a Vampire in the night
Perhaps I would have thrived in another time
In another place, another fold in space
Or perhaps this is just meant to be
Myself, I, and Me
Making my own harmony
That I was born to late
Like I just don't belong
Like the world is dancing to different song
Could I be wrong
I have a hard time understanding the "Social Norms"
So I lurk in the shadows
Hiding from the light
Just out of sight
Like a Vampire in the night
Perhaps I would have thrived in another time
In another place, another fold in space
Or perhaps this is just meant to be
Myself, I, and Me
Making my own harmony

You're doing just fine, my friend. Hang in there. I don't quite fit in either, and I also deal with depression. This is a beautiful, vulnerable, and introspective piece, and it's relatable. I think many of us have these kind of feelings. Sometimes it's a lonely world, but you're never truly alone. Anyway, I liked your poem a lot - great job with your self expression.

I think everyone seems somewhat out of place in life. Keep going and know that one day you will find your place. Don't forget that no matter what your mind is saying you belong to me and you belong to everyone on this platform. Stay strong! I also love how real you are and how vulnerable you let yourself be in this poem. It's truly so beautiful!!

Dear WS,
I think you’re write solidifies you’re one of us😉. I’ve always thought I’d have loved living in the late 1800’s. It felt like manners and chivalry were an absolute. Then I realized there’d be no central air conditioning and thought, I was born at just the right time. As were you. If you weren’t here now none of us would get to read you’re wonderful poetry and that would be sad. As NB said, and I concur, you are doing just fine. This is a great write helping us all to know while we might be feeling isolated we’re all more alike than we know. It’s a great comfort and a great honest write. H🌷

Everyone feels that way for sure, but probably would in any time period. But there is something to be said for 3 part harmonies.

You are correct
Have to be crazy not to like a 3 part harmony when done right :)

Honestly V, I have been so busy with work lately and have not had much time to myself much less to write, but when I got home last night, I sat down and was waiting for my tea cup to arrive this Kind of just spilled out onto paper in my typical fashion. I was not sure about it at first but after showing it to my Queen for an opinion, and a lil positive reinforcement, I decided to post it.
I had no idea, but is nice to see those who relate and to know they are out there two.
And in the end I am glad I did share this one
Thank you for your constant encouragement and your always kind words

You are not alone in this fight. I think many of us have difficulties with ''social norms'' at times. We just do the best we can. Courage. Regards, Robert.
