Looking to Belong

selfstruggles

People claim to know me
Because they see me walk around
But to write what they know about me
Wouldn't cover hardly any ground
I'm here
I'm there
I'm everywhere
But nowhere do I belong
I'm weird
I'm strange
Maybe bizarre
There must be something wrong
I'm unique
I'm a square peg
I stand out from a crowd
I've been told being different is good
And because of it I should be proud
I'm not proud
I'm comic relief
I make my friends all laugh
But if they'd never met me,
Someone else could give them that
The girl who was once in love with me,
Has changed her point of view
So I don't have ambitions
As my planning starts anew
I'm seeking, looking, praying, longing
For what I hope will be
Someplace where I can matter
As much as the people who matter to me.

This is well written and you touched on something that I feel many can relate to.
This struck a deep chord with me tonight for reasons you so vividly potrayed in this poem.
I saw be who you are just as you are. Things work in the end as intended too. Once we start molding ourselves to (fit) somewhere one day we wake up nowhere, believe me I know........ Great poem!

| You have constructed the pain of feeling ostracized from society very eloquently in this poem. But remember, being unique is not always a curse. Great write. |
