My World Poem by Eddie Armstrong

I live in a world where normal is something abnormal
to have no elegance in this world seems to be something formal
Those of us in this world all live in our own dark abyss
and those in the real world look down at us in a world like this
Most don't know the difference or act like they don't care
about the path that we follow that is leading us nowhere
We will pretend or act like if everything was just fine
and our priorities then become lost as the same does our time
We never even noticed we went past the point of no return
now to change what we're used to is something new we have to learn
In the beginning it was all just fun and games
now our youth is spent and we are no longer the same
those of us in this world all have one thing in which we can relate
its that personal issue we avoid which makes us al the same
I'm alone in this world with strange people all around
except i wear a huge smile that is always turned upside down
i hope one day the criticism that fuels my own agony
finally reaches the end and I'm accepted for who i chose to be
