I Dont Belong Here

I feel like the outcast,

Like the one that will never fit in.

They tease me for things I refuse to change

And call me names that cause me pain.

I don't know what they gain

But it has to be something.

Sitting alone brings attention

But I don't have the energy to sit through a conversation.

Why would I talk to people that don't really care?

I go home at night

And I sit all by myself.

I'm done trying to fit in,

It isn't worth the effort when it doesn't change a thing.

Maybe you should just accept who you are and not care if someone wants to cause pain. Although pain is hard to overcome when it is directed towards yourself. You can't change them, but you can accept they don't know you enough to care. Just get that dirt off your shoulder's, and also, nice poem. It speaks a lot about what someone is like in their own shoes through life.

Taylor, you do belong here...the universe is yours and your poem is wonderful...the longing, the searching...you're young and just know we've all been where you are. Hugs

Why fit in when you can be yourself and stand out? I know you will find yourself soon. And let the real you shine through! And by the way, wonderful writing. :)
