Someone once told me
They said
Words on page
Not your life
Not your soul
I will not deny
Not all that I pour out
Is what I feel
But Lies are not told
My soul lingers in each word
My soul is unlike yours
Different
And you do not understand
Because you are the "different one"
and everyone else is the same
From someone so different
You don't have the empathy I expected
Because maybe you don't understand
If you are as unlike them as you say
Wouldn't you shed kind light on those like me
Those who are different from them
different from you
And different from everyone else too
maybe we are all the same
and not a single one will understand
the soul
The struggles of another
Maybe we are all
a blend of incompetnce and hatred
with a little love
that we reserve for those "like us"
Maybe we are all afraid
I know I am
But we have no excuse
For hatred ever flowing
From our fingertips
Don't believe me
Look around
The empty smiles
Vacant stares
Void of love and compassion
A world
needs change
love
difference
But maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe you don't believe me
But you will look around regardless
And you will not forget
The vacant stares that meet your own
Because no matter how "different" your soul is
There is something mirroring you
in each and every other that you see
So, yes
My soul is different
and not just like yours
But it is in my words
and my life
Just like yours
Only Different

Inside The Heart Of A Poet.
PoetryI decided to put on Wattpad all the poetry that I wrote down on napkins and on the back of my Algebra notes and in various notebooks. They are poems that I wrote with different inspirations. There is no specific theme or style. I hope you enjoy them...
