Misfit
Another one of my poetry prompts. The word for this one is **misfit**. I hope it finds you well. *I have words in my mouth,* *Tiny pieces of sounds sitting blank,* *Emotions struggling to spill,* *All light and heavy at once.* *There’re things I wish to say,* *About people and opinions,* *About options and situations.* *I have a song in my head,* *A sad melody humming softly,* *Waiting for the right moment* *To get loud and be heard.* *An opportunity to be free,* *Not in mockery or fake courtesy,* *Rather in love and appreciation.* *I have questions for the world,* *Jumbled thoughts I fail to grasp,* *Moving like a merry go round,* *Knowing it’ll come out wrong.* *Day after day it sits in fear* *Of being judged by the crowd,* *Yet impatient to be let loose.* *A child is born naked and innocent,* *His laughter sweet and real* *Till he takes his first step* *And gets mocked for falling.* *Then he grows up wondering,* *Carrying with him unspoken phrases,* *Questions no one will answer.* *I have struggles I yearn to speak of,* *Flaws I'm impatient to show of,* *Insecurities I've made peace with.* *I wonder why everyone demands perfection* *And make mockery of those they believe to be out of place.* *It's like a crack on an egg,* *Unfixable by a hand or a machine.*
