Estranged Poem by Sophia White

Estranged

Rating: 5.0


Standing still am I
With glazed and distant eye
Hands at my side and still
Incarnate Mind and Will
People blur around
Filling every inch of ground
Stones rumble with the sound
A thousand voices all resound
A chaotic mass of Man
From every near and distant land
Humanity in mass array
Around me spread.

Sun above, Grass below
Trees sway by Wind blow
World is as it always was
Times is as Time does
Earth in its orbit walks
As Man keeps stacking Building Blocks
Making cities built of stone
Harvesting Earth for his own.
There am I amid it all
But blocked by some unseen wall.

A part of World, and yet estranged
Not part of Earth’s unceasing change
Always looking to the sky
Feeling different - knowing why
People ‘round me blur and spin
And I cannot - will not fit in
My feet have tread these foreign shores
They are not mine, perhaps they’re yours
But I am not a Child of this World
Where Humanity is windblown and swirled
And colors run together in the sand
I am not a Child of this Land.
I was made for Somewhere Else
Somewhere Higher
Someone Better.
I am not a Child of this World.
