Outside The Norm

It isn't easy to take a position outside the norm.But even more difficult is to set up ones own belief system, with set of principles, and laws other than the present ones accepted by society.
There are very few who can do it successfully Because it makes for not being easily understood, and having to get used to a sort of reclusive lifestyle.
It also becomes easy for the person to disdain others since he/she feels his/her theories are far superior to theirs. This is not the same as "outside the box" This is becoming a law
seriously,unto yourself.Though many of us feel that we'd like to at times
most of us still adhere to a majority rule in society. It's amazing that this character type is alike for both
male and female,so could be read he/she.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Even as a child he went his own way
he didn't live according to the norm
with a brilliant mind always in play he
would scout the horizon looking for
new forms...As he became a man he
saw the world for what it was, and tried
to understand the cause, His  heart was
compassionate for all mankind, and
wanted to make the world a better place hoping to convince others his ideas would improve the human race


Although living on earth,he has carved
for himself another dimension,one where he abides only by his own rules except when he is forced by convention due to the work place, to do anothers bidding, which he yearns to soon be ridding,when circumstance will give him the freedom he craves, to rise ever above
earths restrictions in solo stance

He attracts many women who find him
mysterious, with traits both holy and wicked and his ways unusually aloof, but compelling while men admire and secretly envy his ability to live according to his own dictums, never giving in to others that don't concur with him...Make no mistake, he isn't a fake,wasn't bad turned good but  believes some bad is good...No one knows how successful this man who writes his own ticket to divinity, with his own set of rules, will be, but he is fascinating to watch!

Fascinating to read! An excellent discription of character,
love, B&R

I have always marched to the sound of a different drummer, ever since I was miraculously healed when I was young from some unknowable and invisible monster that had attacked my body.

You have captured an archetype of one who is undaunted in vision and pursues against all odds that which he/she see's in their minds eye. I love those characters!

Excellent Eileen. You are so bloody prolific, I know you must be taking special herbs or something. Give it up now! (-:

I know someone like this... and I tell him all the time it's either going to be his undoing or his most brilliant work.. the jury is still out! He says that he's just thankful I'm not seated on the jury .. This is a very insightful way of looking at individuality and I did enjoy the read.

Oh now ET, this is kind of scary...and I know there are man out there like this...maybe just a little too good to be true. Best perhaps to watch him under a distant microscope. Sounds as if this character, be he fact or ficticious, is an artful dodger for sure, and I'm equally sure a few have fallen under his confounding spell.
Well written Eileen...you left nothing out, not even his imagination.
Love,
Taylor

Oh indeed. I will gravitate towards an individual every time. Their creativity, mindset and approach to the norm is exemplurary for me. I am fascinated by anyone who thinks with freedom of thought and freedom of self. Again...we like the same attractive attributes in men.

Wow, Eileen..this runs the gamut! How intriguing and well-penned.

In my view, he is actually left quite empty. Always living on the fray, means never partcicpating from the heart, which turns his own thoughts, words, and deeds into mere fantasy; a game, if you will. His own strengths become his weakness, and finally, his demise, I would guess...just a sad and empty, kind of pretend existence. One such as this, has had a shattered heart- a crushed spirit, usually very early in life. Genuine love is the only remedy to overcoming the horrid loneliness, of setting one's self so far apart. The Creator meant for us to interact.

Compelling, to say the least, Master Poetess!

Love & Tons of Respect, Rhonda

There are some people who don't run with the pack...

I am a great believer in individualism and spontaneity, with honesty as the moral compass..

Great write from your accomplished pen

From the intellectual learned to the average man in the street there is a chasm in what each seeks to attain. One seeks to see a world carved to his own expections and how he can change it and the other tries to live and let live. Neither will attain there goal as life is complicated and ever changing from a moral point of view. What is delightful and pleasing to one is utter disgrace to another. One will be admired and even have his face carved in stone while the other will be buried with no great fan fare even though he did his best for his country and his family living by something or some deity he believed in. And then there is that one person born in povety, who never wrote any books, yet no books can contain how he changed the world. He preached love for each other and left the rest up to us to follow his example or not.

Well, you got me shaking my head in dumbfounded . . . er . . . confusion. If this is a real person you are writing about, I am not smart enough to know who it might be. If this is just a metaphor, I have to say that if he believes that bad is good and he is bad, then that ain't good. I know you like for us to judge your poetry by other things other than personal, but I have to admit I wouldn't quite know how to go about critiquing this one.
