Do I Belong?

Do I Belong?

I'm not like the people
you normally see in the
halls. I'm not the one who
has the most friends or
that is popular. I'm not
the one who has had a
good past.
I'm the one who has
learnt to hide away who
I really am.

I'm not always easy seeing
other people being able to
show their true feelings.
It's also not easy seeing a
smiling on their face, when
I don't even remember
the last time I truly
smiled.

It's hard being an outcast
Everyone else who has
been here for such a long
time seems to be friends
and know how it really is
around here.
I, on the other hand,
don't really know the
ways here. But, when I try
to do something a
different way, or just try
to be myself, I get judged.

Fitting in is probably the
hardest thing for a lot of
people to do. Some kids
try to do whatever they
can do to fit in. Others
just look art what the
others do, see if they can
try it, attempt to fit in,
and try and make a
friend. Sometimes it
works, other times it
doesn't.

But am I really that
different?

There are many
similarities in everyone.
But, the differences are
what set us apart.

There are so many labels
everywhere you go.
There are groups.
and we also have our cliques.

Finding out how to
belong to one of those is
hard. Belonging in
general in hard. Some
people don't even
understand the meaning
of belonging.

But I think it's time some
things change,
so everyone can feel like
they have a meaning.

No more labels, groups
or cliques.
Everyone can belong.

And as a whole, we can
make sure everyone feels
like they matter.
