Belong

I don't think I belong anywhere

Hell, I don't belong at home

I don't belong in school,

I shouldn't be here now

It's not the place to be, when your me.

And it seems no matter how hard I try

I can not fit in, 

A puzzle piece in a box of tools

A black crayon in the color pencils.

I am the hole that you can not stitch

I do not belong here.

So why should I stick around?

To hear the words,

Of ignorance continue.

Well it's never what I dreamed of,

A never ending taunt.

The sad tale of a useless life.

And even in the darkest days,

The darkest of nights

I continue to stick around

To live my life.

To go forward with my plans

For nothing will stop me from being 

The person I can't help but be!

Author's Note

Even when I feel I don't belong, I stick around... I have every right as anyone else.

Hard to fit in when you are young. With age you can find people with same goals and dreams. I like the story and the positive ending. Sometime we must go forward and not have concern for the people who are negative. Thank you for the excellent poem.
