Life's Storm: Poem

We once were free to roam the streets as the geeks in high school.
Walking in sunlight with the wind at our backs.
But somewhere between now and then, the sunlight faded and the wind turned into a storm that poured over our existence.
We now live in the shadows created by the aftermath the storm left behind.
Where the human eye cannot see because no one cares to look hard enough.
We have become transparent in the worlds view.
So we are forced to sit in a most uncomfortable seat.
Behind society's toleration.
You see we are the outcasts, misfits and freaks no one wants to be bothered with.
Little do they know it only takes one wrong step in this world to fall through the cracks.
And land in the same seat we're sitting in.
Since we sit in the lower ranks of human existence, we are at the mercy of others.
Forced to ask them to help in order to become equal in the world view.
But the shadows are a hard place to escape, so we must wait to be seen.
By someone that takes the time to look.
But most of us are beyond the human eyes of the popular kids who grew up to be placed in corporate America.
Walking in their suits basking in sunlight, sipping on their latte's.
We sit wondering what a drip would taste like.
When they walk past for a minute we remember what the sun feels like on our pale skin.
Then we realize, just as in the past, they are ignorant to the fact we exist.
Then the shadows come again.
Covering our existence to a world gone blind.

What ya think???
