Outside Of Everything

Introduction

Another personal poem, inspired by that image, something that happened on Vocal this morning, and these lines from Bob Dylan's "Joey" that perfectly describes me:

Always on the outside of whatever side there was

When they asked him why it had to be that way, “Well,” he answered,

“just because”

I am not down, I am pleased that these things came together to create this sad poem.

The music is "Human Touch" by Bruce Springsteen to accompany this villanelle.

This is the fourth poem that I have written inspired by the images of Bouke de Vries

Outside Of Everything

❌🪦🧱🖤🧱🪦❌

I Will Always Be On The Outside

Shunned And Feeling Ignored, Invisible

All I Am Feels So Trivialised

🖤

No One Noticed, But Today I Cried

The Kingfisher Stole One More Bauble

I Will Always Be On The Outside

🖤

I Believe In Me, I Have My Pride

But Locked Out, Things Feel Impossible

All I Am Feels So Trivialised

🖤

Maybe I'll Turn Round, Away I'll Ride

My Gushing Flow Become A Dribble

I Will Always Be On The Outside

🖤

My Flowing Tears Many Will Deride

My Final Words A Blurry Scribble

All I Am Feels So Trivialised

🖤

Maybe It's Time To Say My Goodbye

Even Write A Farewell Epistle

I Will Always Be On The Outside

All I Am Feels So Trivialised
