    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.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
