Belong

If I don't fit in with my family What chance do I have in the real world? If I don't fit in with my friends Can I ever find a place to belong? Words that flow effortless in the mind Stall before exiting my mouth That humorous laughs echo in the room The silence around me is deadly. I miss them, I can't relate I'm alone, that's what I know We're to different, It's me who suffers I am alone, do they know the feeling? I live in dreams, they live reality. I focus on the imagination, they prefer what's real. I love the unknown, there safe in the sound I live in the air, there feet are planted on the ground Their practical, they don't understand My path straying far away from there's If I leave will they contact me? Or am I on my own Do you suffer the way I do? I'd like to run, to save myself But I can't bring myself to be completely on my own No matter how hard I try, I don't belong

Sometimes I, too, feel that I don't belong anywhere. You just have to keep your hopes up and pray that someday, you will find that place where you feel that you belong. Emily
