Somewhere I Belong

I really enjoyed this

A very poignant piece, V.C., that well expresses the perceived rejections of a child by one's peers.
How odd that a small incident which occurred in infancy, on the playground, can lead to such insecurity that it cannot be shaken off in later life.

Me too, VW. Well done on the cherry;-) Tina

Thank you Poncey for reading and commenting. Much appreciated

Hey Luigi - Thank you for the comments and for having a look at this.
The sense of being an outsider looking in is expressed here through the incidents in the different verses, but the feeling of being an outsider for me has always and will always persist. Thanks again for your kind comment, it made my day.

Thanks Tina, my first cherry and I'm stoned to be given them...sorry couldn't think of a suitable cherry pun :-)

Thank you blighters rock your kind comments are really appreciated.

Something very haunting about the moment you describe the abstract idea that forms in a six year old mind. Enjoyed this poem and well done on first cherry. :-)

Wow, powerful. A smart, thought-provoking poem that inspires you, paradoxically, as if using reverse-psychology. A true insight into the world in which so many young people live.

A huge well done from me.

Nathan.

Thanks fatboy - am chuffed to bits with first cherry, and thank you for the kind comments. always grateful for a bit of feedback. Have a great day.

Hi V.C.

don't know how this one slipped under the carpet so
to speak, but I really enjoyed reading it, somehow
I could relate to it, as I went through a similar
experience at school.

By the way congratulations on the cherries, well
deserved.

Jenny.

Thanks Jenny (she says blushing). Always lovely to receive your comments. You're always so generous with you thoughts and compliments.

Thank you seashore. Your comments are as always very welcome.

Hello there VCW.

Oldpesky has already said it, ABCTales.

And there is no need to "(she says blushing)"
We can't see you, so your safe and sound here on ABC.

Thanks ScoZen. You can't see but I'm grinning ear to ear.

Your writing reminds me why I MUST remember to log in and read the latest postings. Well done on both the poem and the cherry.
Thanks also for taking the time to read mine - and you are not alone here.

Thanks Frances for your lovely comment. sometimes an idea or theme inspires you and before you know it the words are just falling over themselves onto the page. I was very lucky that this happened with this little piece. Looking forward to reading some more of your writing
All the best
