"yeah, I get a corner cubby" the boy said.
I think to myself, why would you want that?
off to the side away from the rest.
Loneliness is your only friend.
Loneliness, and the hum of the lights over head.
He listens in on the conversations.
Wishing he had enough courage to join in and give his insight.
But he will not.
And why not?
He is much more intelligent then the rest of them.
He could straighten them out, correct their incorrect thoughts.
That's why he won't join in.
He knows he's better than them.
He will continue to stay in the corner cubby
He will study them and learn their ways
They would never understand or accept him, He is beyond them
They don't deserve to know.

I feel as if this poem has a deeper meaning to the author then what the reader's can see. It almost reminds me of Kindergraten where you have your own individual cubby holes. Thanks for a stroll down memory lane.

I think this fits the mentality of society. If your not like everyone else and you won't allow them to try and put you into their mold of what they think you should be then they will not accept you. They think you're " werid " becuase you refuse to be a robot. Go figure! This is an awesomely written poem. Nicely done!

Weird poem but still quite interesting! I really enjoyed it, and loved the ending. Life is so like that. I know and felt like that quite a bit growing up. Some people will never understand people who are different from the rest of the bunch. Thanks for sharing this. I look forward to reading more.
