Sunday Morning Reflection

[Pendragon]

I have always been a loner or a leader
The one who walks in front or all alone.
Chasing myself across the ages, yet no nearer
To fitting in or calling this old world my home.

A puzzle piece dropped into another box by mistake—
I never fit in no matter how hard I try.
If I set the rules they are only there for others to break.
Heartache sets in and sometimes I wish I’d die.

Could there be a bright horizon that I cannot see?
Is the certainty of death really all that certain?
What do others see when they look at me?
Will I be able on the day I face my final curtain?

Perspective plays a lot of havoc with reality:
In my many journeys I have never been to me…

A Sonnet from the Dragon

[TheFifthElement]

It always amazes me Pen, how you work so well with the sonnet form. This is a great poem, very heartfelt, very strong. I hear your pain, and I understand. It is hard being a leader, isolating and lonely. But at the same time people look up to you, and you think for yourself, no one thinks for you. These are strengths too, better, I think, than fitting in.

Chasing myself across the ages, yet no nearer


This line is so amazing..I like so much.

Killer couplet, Pen.
