Born out of Balance

by Michael D Nalley   Mar 18, 2009


Being born out of balance can be a rough climb
Lacking lactose tolerance and enough enzyme
Maybe allergic to something, or sensitive to silk
Many foods may be a problem especially milk

Don't want to be held tightly or over kissed
Some jabber angrily while shaking a fist
These are the early sign of autistic melt down
What we got is a failure that is said to be renown

Minds occupied with a subject until it gets its fill
What we got is a failure to communicate with skill
Repeating memorized cliche's like the bird that mocks
Not seeing what is wrong with thinking outside the box

Many typical beliefs leave a lot of room for doubt
We may feel like honing in while you see zoning out
Ask me a question that requires general to specific
I will read everything I can find and write prolific

    This is a great poem
    i love its flow and general feel
    it rolled of my tongue like silk
    it was truthful and in your face with a soft presences

    Tehehe this poem made me chuckle some :) it was unique if you ask me!!! i liked the wording and the flow was definitely there!!! i think anyone who reads this will find a way to relate because i mean let's admit it, we are all born a little out of balance in one way or another!! i like how you explored different possibilities and views it was the right angle to approach this subject at!

    Overall, i wouldn't tell you to change anything maybe just add some punctuation to make it feel official!
    5/5

    I like everything except the last stanza. The rest of the flow is fine but the last stanza doesn't seem to be working for me.
