MISFIT

Mistaken Identity 'who do I think I am'
Thought I was a daughter, sister, mother, cousin and even a friend
Maybe I'm just a piece or fraction of these things
Have I made up my own being?
Trying to believe I belong so I'm singing that silly love song
And trying to convince myself 'I just really don't fit in this family of which from GOD I was sent'
Sometimes it feels like I was placed for disgrace, just taking up space
So I ask myself where do I belong, am I raisinf my kids wrong
Cause sometimes I think they feel they can do it all without me
I feel cheated sometimes defeated like a file on the computer being deleted
From the very place in life I thought was my GOD given right
I've melted like the lone piece of ice left in the cup
No more use for me cause the drink was drank up

Misfit, mystified by the fact that I have been 'Life Jacked'
Feeling like a hype who lost his pipe, short $2 for his next hit
I sometimes want to quit cause right now this sh** 'is killin me softly'
I need this feelin off me, but don't know how to shake it
Thinking I'm 38 looking great but feeling like a bad plate of not really good tasting food
And today dammit I'm not really in the mood to care about your problems and concerns
Got enough issues of my own and for one I need to address them
Put a plan in place so I can correct em'
I'm laughin cause I've come to realize GOD is a regular Ole comedian
Putting me through the one thing I feared to be in
Being alone, living the rest of my life on my own
But maybe it's a test and usually I'm at my best studying so I can pass
But I'm almost out of gas hoping tht he will prevail before I finally just give up and say what the hell
I feel like one more incident and I will be at the bottom of the well
Not even screamin for help cause frankly I don't think anyone would even care even if they could hear me!

Misfit and tired of wearing this outfit
I don't know what else to do cause GOD I've given it to you
Don't think I'm depressed but I know I'm in distress
Sending an S.O.S of constant unnoticed smoke signals
Running out of tree branches and the sun is setting
Will have to lay it down for the night and losing my will to fight
Ok I guess I asked for IT you know that "one more thing to happen"
Oh well what the hell I guess bad things do come in three's
Just got hit with something that should not affect me but it does
I am really praying this is a test from the man above
If not satan is catching up with me and slowly stealing my soul
So I really need to make my way up out of this hole
But I think to myself 'what do I do'
Is there a place for me some kind of misfit sorority?
A place for those of us that are different
I'm trying, tired of crying and wondering why
So someone please answer my question before both my heart and soul dies
"AM I A MISFIT" or is it that I just don't get "IT"

OH F@CK!!! I thought that I was the only one too,,, Great Write!! Pieces, Pieces everywhere, i see them scattered all around you, I'll try to help u pick them up, and first i'll let you know that the sorority starts here; u and I.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
