Being Odd Isn't A Choice Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Being Odd Isn't A Choice

Rating: 5.0


One and half cans of Diet Coke
Two cups of coffee
An Everything Bagel with whipped cream cheese
And after that I had a cigarette
To finish my breakfast off
But nothing can stop this feeling
That solitude brings
There's not a quick fix I haven't tried
No guru to tell me the meaning of life
I don't know anything but to suffer
People tell me I chose loneliness
But being odd isn't a choice
It's just the way I am
They are frightened of my genius
That is until they get to know me
Yes, I have million thoughts at one time
But when do you think why things are?
It occupies me all the time

Solitude cuts like a knife when yr other half dies young. It's that unwanted, unloved and on yr own feeling, even day.......

Look up to the skies, because God holds you with love in his heart, and in his eyes, because to him we are all precious! ..

Let's raise our voice: We odd people had no choice! Seriously, Robert had great advice. See if there is a poetry group near you, or some other type of club or group you might want to join. I wish I could come and hang out with you! I get lonely, too.

The loneliness felt the worst after my break ups. But somehow, time healed all. LeeAnn, I find writing poetry to be very therapeutic. And reading and sharing with the PH family helps to alleviate the loneliness!
