Misplaced
By Elizabeta
October 15, 2000
I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a
parallel universe,
to quote the caption on a shirt in a Johnson Smith catalog.
I feel like an old lady
school teacher with her hair in a bun and a
sharp-as-nails-on-a-blackboard voice
I fell so disconnected, so out of place
Do I appear to be shy? or do I appear to be
the worlds biggest snob?
I didn't laugh at that joke like everyone else did
Did that make me look like a stuffy square?
A total geek without the high IQ?
I feel weird talking to people a few years younger
than I am; however, I feel more comfortable talking
to little kids and adults
This social thing is exhausting
especially when you don't fit in anywhere
Maybe I'll become a hermit
I wish I could find some more people like me
so I wouldn't be the only one
diagonally parked in a parallel universe
