Monachopsis

I dedicate this to those who are having a troubling time finding a place in this world full of stereotypes. Just remember that you will find your place in the great big bad world and be who you are meant to be. It won't matter if you are short, tall, white or black. Through the tough times, there will be the amazing times of laughter and happiness. Just keep moving onward.

This collection of poems shows that people may feel out of place even in their own skin. This first poem Monachopsis of which was named after the title is about trying to find a place in this world around you and no one understanding who and what you are. The second poem is more about trying and almost succeeding on finding yourself before it falls away. The third is the doubt that you are not good enough or smart enough for the world. The fourth consists of song lyrics to describing the love that was lost and the emptiness behind it. The fifth is going with the pressor, just the void of nothing after someone leaves you. Then the last poem, with an intriguing twist of who you are and aren't as a person. This collection of poems shows the nature of a person and the ups and downs of life. Either if you are feeling alone or just out of place, something or one will bring you down from the cloud above.
