Poem - Out of Place - Michele Furnaros, Poet, Author

This is a poem I wrote earlier this year:

**********************

Out of Place
by Michele Furnaros

With the room doused
in crimson attire,
all eyes glared at her.
Out of place,
she stood with her gaze

downwards,
trying to deflect
the attention. Feeling
like a wretched

piece of art
centered amongst glaring
eyes, she desired
to fly away
but froze.

Insecure, inferior,
and inadequate,
she couldn’t perceive what
they observed.
Her brilliant, royal

tones appeared striking
against the sea
of merlot.
They gazed at her
not out of malice

but…

for her unique
beauty.
