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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
