I am very thankful to all those I learned from, on here, over the years.  You all helped me to evolve.

    some tequila with those worms?
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    I say all the wrong stuff
    and I say it at the wrong time
    when they ask for rhythm
    I give them rhyme
    I am a fool......and fluffy at that
    I'm as batty as a bat....
    on social occasions
    I'm likely to turn beet red
    and sweat
    and everyone else is so cool.....
    don't ask me why
    I feel like a fool.....
    I'm not too bad
    (a bit mad)
    but when body language is in play
    I get so sensitive
    and pensive when every1 else is gaggling like geese......
    I start analysing all the relationships
    observing people
    and talking about philosophy or heavy shit
    and then it's too late
    I'm in it
    the zone
    drinking, hardly blinking, staring into their eyes
    with no disguise
    I'm socially inept.....
    I'm shy :)
    but then I start feeling slighted
    and although before afrighted
    things get up my nose
    and I lose my repose
    and start getting bolshy
    and looking for altercations
    (especially just before
    vacations)
    I could be arrested
    and never go to Greece
    (like that time)
    or I could find someone who likes peace
    and takes me under their wing
    and protects me from all the arrows and slings
    of outrageous fortune.....:)
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    I don't fit in.

    It seems so strange.

    so many times he's been "strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song".

    yet, I don't fit in.

    I believe in... mind over matter... making this life work for you...speaking your mind... protecting the environment... staying healthy... the power of music...the power of love.

    yet, I don't fit in.

    I respect life. I appreciate those who aren't appreciated. I try to find the beauty in everything.

    yet, I don't fit in.

    Being an idealist keeps me out-of-touch. So what do I do?

    Guess I'll just go eat worms :)

    :) That was delightful, pickupyourwill! I too try to find beauty in everything too so I really liked that line. I think many of us feel like we don't fit in so, I'll join you in the dirt and we can not fit in and eat worms together. :D
