Where would I start?
Such a strong sense
Belonging means a lot
That’s why young men join gangs, to belong
Women join prayer groups, to belong
It adds to your identity,
Or does it take away?
I’m not sure
Do you merge with those around you?
Or do you somehow strengthen what’s within you
People in numbers
A tribe if you will
Are you sacrificing individuality
Or are you strengthening your personali...
There’s something about you holding my hand,
Guiding me gently across these rocky lands.
We’ve both known heartbreak, and we’ve both known pain, but with you right beside me, I’ll do love again.
You’re the knight that I needed, letting me finally rest,
When you stand guard, that’s when I see your love best.
You speak so gently, never a raised voice,
You make me realize that I’ve always had a cho...
Do I fit in a puzzle
Do I dangle with chimes?
Do I sit with dice
Am I a piece of something
Bigger then myself
Do I get to be the good guy
And really help myself?
Do I belong with other humans?
Should I be allowed to be called
Human
Do I belong?
Do I fit in a box
Or lay with the leaves
Do I sing with the birds
What am I?
Who am I?
Where do I belong?...
Belonging
Where do I belong?
I don’t know to be honest
I’m every where at once
I’m the smart kid
With popular friends
I know weird people
And nice young men
I’m a pastor’s kid
And a poet’s daughter
And I believe
In a heavenly father
I’m every where at once
So I don’t really fit in
But that’s fine by me
It makes me different...
I don’t really like school
Not because of the math and learning
But because everyone in there
Makes my stomach start churning
I look around and see all these groups
The sports, nerds, all you can name
You have quiet kids, funny kids
Kids that want all the fame
We’re divided into groups based on what we like
Yet I don’t fit into any one
Not because I’m boring or anything
Just these people ain’t m...
What is belonging? ...
Who do we belong to? ...
Where do we call home? ...
Who do we call home? ...
What is home? Is it a place? A person? A feeling?
People question what it feels to belong. From the day we are born, we are told who we are and who we should be.
What we belong to.
Who we belong to.
What our race is, who our family is, what our religion is, what tribe we fit in to.
We are told we ...
I belong with you.
It’s my place in the world.
Nothing, absolutely nothing,
Has ever felt this right.
Laying in your arms,
Resting my head on your shoulder,
Closing my eyes as you kiss me…
I’ve never believed in heaven,
But I think this is it.
I’ve never believed in fate,
But how could this be anything other than meant to be?
I’ve never believed in destiny,
But now I know mine is with you.
You’r...
To have a wordless bond
One that can not be sold or bought
And even if your lost
They will come to find you
To love you unconditionally no matter what may come
To feel seen
To be heard
To know that even when the world turns its back on you
You won’t be facing the worst alone
You will have a safety net
Confidence in knowing they will have your back no matter what
That they will understand your stru...
