Misfit, I am

Misfit, I am

A Poem by Aisha Mnd

Misfit, I am

in this land where rules

must be abided by, or one

will collapse, become a sore

thumb, amongst the grey pallet

of this world in which

we have been flung in, by forces

unknown to us mortal men.

 

Hungry eyes, a thirst,

scorched throat, asking

for more than water, a hunger,

ineffable to describe, and

the desire to quench it,

unknown.

 

Misfit, I am,

hunting through all seven heavens,

seven seas, seven continents, for

that luminous, blinding liquid

to seal the pleas of my soul.

 

But my mortal ears have become

too deafened by mortal judgments,

to understand the universal

language of the souls, and so

ignorant I have become

to what I desire, long for most.

 

Misfit, I have thus become,

breaking the rules whilst hoping,

that golden, glimmering cup, of whatever nature,

will reveal itself to me, as each law shatters,

as I attempt to retreat from this trivial, fictional world

of the living.

Your work has left me with the feeling that this may be some battered knight. Endless strikes to the sword, spear and shield. But the steel is worn, and the hunger is long gone.


Nice in a very eye opening work.

Thank you! And yes, conformity sure inhibits one. :)
If one world exists then I can be destroyed. If you leave the world of the living(fictional or otherwise) would you also cease to exist, for she is a sad navigator who cannot find herself, nor blinding liquids, nor languages to bless a golden cup. This piece has a beautiful yearning through it's pleading descriptions.

Thank you!
In a world of misfits, are there no conformists--or are all conformists?
Don't really know why I asked that, Aisha; just the sort of thing that sometimes--often, quite inconveniently--occurs to me.
Yesterday, I spent hours trying to figure out if water can be diluted.
In any event, "Misfit, I am" strikes me as very fine work.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading your poem.

P.S - I am no scientist. Thus, I am not sure if water can be - really - diluted.

i don't think it is ignorant to break the rules...when they are too confining and they try to make us be someone other than who we are...
