Socially Unaccepted And Misunderstood

There is no place for us here...

Socially Unaccepted And Misunderstood

Overly vexed and highly
frustrated.


Sedated by illusions
and made up manifestations,


I wonder if there is even
a space, a place for
a misfit.


Is the misfit on a steady roll
of misunderstanding and constant
blend in wallpaper syndrome?


In a place or society where misunderstooders
and their quest to seek peace
and acceptance, society rather
boot them out.


Kick them to the curb and leave them
hopeless, stagnant and drowning in
self-doubt so steep, that even fish can't
get that deep.


Trapped abysses of never seeing eye to eye
or never being heard because their point of views
or their ideas don't suit the narrative.


The picture of health.


They tucked themselves deep,
trying to make themselves smaller to fit in the corner
of y'all picture frame.


When the lines are blurred and you border
line lose yourself,
trying to appease and be pleased.


But there's no space for them there.


Happiness isn't brought, there is no stockroom
with boxes of shipment with happiness inside.


So what do they do?


Be silent.
Be weary.


Tuck yourself down in the corner
of their picture frame.


It's the only thing that ever matters anyway.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
