New York City

Passionate capturing of a smile
Kindly walk on by, new found feeling.
I can not afford to lose it again
To another stranger, another friend.

Difference caught up in hackneyed lust
Without a sound of relief.
Strung up so high to be seen
Ridiculed once more.

Its just the world I know
The one that hates me so.
The world that drowns me in unrequited love
And restless emotion to show.

Author notes

A poem I wrote while listening to "The World I Know" by Collective Soul, and while feeling in a little bit of a slump due to all sorts of things that have come my way. This poem basically sums up a lot of feelings in just three stanzas. Self-actualization... sure. Why not?

The title is complete randomness because I couldn't think of anything else better.

comments? concerns?

    XD is it weird that the title is what made me read it, and you say that it was just random....
    guess it is a little XD lol.

    but, anyway this was really really great, and im glad that the title did catch me, or I would have never never ever read it. I really liked,
    "Difference caught up in hackneyed lust
    Without a sound of relief."

    really interesting. XD really good read too, I may have to keep on coming back and reading more. X3
