U
[h=1]Sociopathy[/h]by TheLordReverend
You call me a monster.
Inhuman.
A freak.
Just because I can't feel anything.
I do not fit in your world.
I simply do not understand it.
I do not care for your world.
But some of it is nice, I must admit.
I don't feel loss, emotional pain, or sorrow.
I don't feel contentment, elation, or love.
It doesn't matter how much I try,
But I don't mind at all.
You see, I haven't ever experienced these things.
I have always been so dulled.
But this doesn't bother me.
I just do what I'm told.
I try to fit in and do it well.
Not one of my... acquaintances even knows.
I smile and laugh and socialize.
I'm even seen as amiable, I suppose.
But deep inside, I know.
I am not the person I show.
I am not human in the usual sense.
For I am the enigmatic sociopath.
--------------------------------------------------
While I would not call myself a sociopath I really identify with the part in this poem about being emotionally numb due to life in general....
and no I don't want cheesy responses like "I'll pray for you....blah blah blah...." sometimes it is okay not to feel for a while.....but interesting website full of sociopath poems...a look into a different perspective....
