Off to a bad start

by Marie   Jun 24, 2007


I'm off to a bad start
already alone, already sad
already by myself
in a land i know nothing about
a land of strangers
who seem to know me
yet shun me from their world
a land of inadquacy
and decpetion and hate
a land that scares
every bone in my body
and makes me feel
as if no matter what i do
no matter what i say
I will never be one of them
in this land i know nothing about

    "a land of [inadequacy]
    and [deception] and hate"

    This was, once again, a poignant piece, Marie. It doubtlessly struck a chord with me. I can tell how challenging it is to settle in a new and unusual place. You've portrayed your discomfort rather emotively. Well done, as always! I hope you all the best and take care; hang in there. 5/5 ~Marian
