Odd One Out Poem by K.C. Ford

Odd One Out

Rating: 4.7


My life is a mess,
I've done everything wrong,
on the urge of a moment
I sing the wrong song.

I sing what is sung
to a different tune,
when I sing the sun,
and they the moon.

I guess I'm just odd,
or is that unique,
as I always stand out,
outside of the clique.

The many are more
in a crowd or a throng,
and I am just me
singing my song

You seem to be quite a character - I like that sometimes. Can identify with this poem, I'm uniquely just me, a mere poet. At times my life is a mess and I can't seem to get things right either. That's what they call life. Nice poem, thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

The first stanza is very interesting, as everyone of us feel the same way at one point of our times, thinking how many of us have lived a perfect life, which means without making indecisive decisions! ! ! ! I Thank you for sharing your thought..

My dear friend, life is a show In life each one of us is a beau Earth revolves around its axis and the sun Strange interactions make life a real fun If we all were the same Fitted in the same frame Without fame and blame Life would be a dull game Music also has eight notes Their unique pitching ragas float Diverse instruments a symphony create Bass and treble are life's musical traits No one is ever out of tune Diversity is life's blessed boon
