    Poem Commentary

    I wote this as a teenager. I label it growing pains.

    Family Dysfunction

    Why do I feel like an outsider to something I have known my entire life? 
    Why do these people feel like strangers in a familiar place? 
    In a since I have always seen things a little different than they do.
    But still I always had a place. 
    That is until now.

    Family can be a tough thing. Short but to the point. Really like the ending.

    This is a lonely feeling, isn't it? Like looking through a window at everyone having a good time while you are out in the cold. Not fun. I was thinking... maybe later on, you could let us know a little more, as to why you feel so isolated, what did they do? What do they do to cause this hateful situation? I think this is a fine piece...and nosey me...I want more. (smiles)

    Thanks again for the nice comments. I wrote this when I was a teenager. Maybe I can send a private message with the details. First I plan to read all your poems.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
