    I have friends,
    but...
    I am not one of them, I am my own person
    I have family, I know people,
    I talk, I laugh,
    but...
    I stand out, if only to myself
    What does she value? What are his goals?
    Those are the questions I ask.

    Does he write poetry that he has to hide?
    Does she wish she could help him?
    These are the questions I ask.

    On the bus I sit,
    headphones plugging up my ears
    I watch their lips move, their eyes blink,
    their hysterical, laughing expressions,
    but I hear nothing,
    Because I am different.

    They giggle at the boy across the row,
    He is handsome, yes...
    He pulls his fingers through loose hair

    I won't be like those girls,
    I'll remember what's important in life.
    I am different, I am different.
    I am unrelated.

    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.
