Left Standing Poem by Jessica LaDuron

Left Standing



im left standing here
naked and alone,
all my beliefs are out in the open
people laugh at me,
simply because i do not fit in
life is like a jig-saw puzzle,
and i am the peice
that has been torn and ripped
and no longer fits the puzzle
my mind is not on this planet
i have wandered too far out
i need to come back,
to a place where i beelong,
but where
pray tell is that,
who knows,
i do not, i have tried to find the path
but i always get lost in the bushes
i can not survive,
and that is why
i'm left standing here
naked and alone

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I like your poem, and I understand your sorrow. At some point however, it pays to simply be who you are; do not worry about fitting in or trying to find others to love you. Love yourself, relax and be. Put your mind and actions into being kind to others who also have been ignored. There is beauty all around you, people to know and appreciate. You only have to have eyes to see and be brave enough to be the first person to reach out. Consider how delicate a butterfly seems to be and yet how strong it truly is and how beautiful. You are like that too. You just have not realized it yet. Live in the good. Seek out the good. Never be a doormat for anyone. Also, you are not required to be nice to everyone either. Trust your intuition and when something in you tells you someone or something is evil, pay attention and leave while you still can. Surround yourself with likeminded people. Be kind.
