Fitting In Poems - Poems about Fitting In

Fitting in

bent like a grass stem
I fold, I yield, I twist, squeeze
between stakes labeled
'Been Done' and 'So Becoming'
buried, far behind the lines

Hollow Hands

I held it like a prayer,
like something sacred,
like something that could save me.

I built my world around it,
tied my worth to its spine,
carved my name into its walls
as if that would make me belong.

And yet, here I stand,
palms open, fingers trembling,
watching it slip through—
sand through clenched fists,
water through cracked earth.

I gave it everything.
And still, I

Fitting In

Thin and thick we are 
so many sizes and shapes 
how do I know if I fit in?
beauty has no scale 
nor people's height and weight 
we grow how we live 
how we eat 
whether healthy or not 
it's how we feel 
so I guess 
I'll just classify myself as 
overweight woman who likes food

Fitting In

Eisenhower was a tower of power 
    Nixon 'the Quaker Peacemaker' was dour

  Reagan had the grace of a Carl Sagan
    The Bushes were Christian Episcopalian

  How does Trump fit on this list
     Methinks he exists to make them pissed

New Boy

The little boy in the corner, who didn’t want to come,
Expressed his shy reluctance, but encouraged by his mum.
He knows he has to listen, and  encouraged to join in,
He doesn’t want to be there, but he’ll never make a din.
Offered opportunities, to join what’s taking place,
But if the others speak to him, he goes

Plastic Girl

Plastic girl, 
scars painted over
Plastic and shiny,
looks like nobody's hurt her

But deep down inside,
She's broken and torn
A lifetime of hurt,
to hold down she's sworn

So she covers her face,
with a painted-on smile
A hard plastic girl,
the plastic heart has been there a while

Fitting In

          She never fit in, or so she thought.

          In the lonely moonlight, she pondered...what good had her many

Fitting In

Out I go on the porch, thinking of you as a bird approaches me
You whisper in my ears and I am full of cheers…
Mirror my reflection and don’t leave me with your depression…
Lean on me, friend – I’ll carry you along the way 
Getting carried away in a crowd of beautiful individuals
My mind racing fast

Fitting-In

All the trusts I had left in you
Are slowly fading fast
Pretentiousness is a killer 
That could bury you without a fight

Hoping desperately to fit in 
In your li’l world full of shame
Wandering around in the street 
Of totally wrong crowds

There is absolutely nothing
To see
In this kind of scene
Only bunch of losers
Struggling to fit-in

Image is everything
In

Not Fitting In

Don't you feel sometimes
You and I are not alike
Don't you feel
Your interests should be sealed
Be two different people
To make everything simple
Have yourself to still be proud
Have a stranger to be in the crowd
You don't want to be a loner
But who else loves playing dominoes
Don't you feel sometimes
You and I are not alike
Don't you feel
"you are

Fitting In

I enter the hall
wondering where to sit.
People stare.
I spot an open seat
and immediately drop into it.
Relief flows through me.
I’m a part of the crowd.

Fitting In.( By Mac, My Grandson 16 Y/O)

Spray paint your grass!
Tofu all meat!
Borrow their cash!
Glue on eyelash!
YOU REMAIN DISCRETE!

Generic every brand!
Plastic = plant!
Top soil your land!
Fake bake Tanned,
BUT YOU STILL CAN'T!

Zirconium your diamond!
Wig your head!
Fuel you've siphoned!
Use product then refund!
OUTCAST TILL YOUR DEAD!

By Mac :]

Fitting In (Diatelle)

See
The whole world
It’s before you
Take in, appreciate
Absorb the essence of it all
It calls upon you; be a part of it
Do not just witness it and then you walk away
Let it alter your being; transform you
So you become, too, beautiful
The world will then see you
As you see it
Perfectly
You
