I want to fit in

I want friends

But I can’t

I try so hard

It never matters

Society is flowed

Focusing on skin

Not the person

I want to fit in

What will I pay

Being shallow

Hurting others

Being perfect

Just a pretty face

I can’t do that

The pain in my gut

Would grow

Till I drown in it

Till I choose to die

To take my life

Belonging is pointless

So I won’t even try

Sitting alone

That’s ...

Hollow words leave nothing but decay

I have lived so long in rot filled relationships

I can smell it a mile away

From smiles across the room I can see the corroded teeth

I know the act of lying is a necessity for living

But I have left those crumbling friendships for something better

Through the act of accepting myself

I have found friendships of moral equality

Were the growth of the many...

Once upon a time,

I’d long to belong to you

with you

near you

beside you, yet,

instead, you’d lie and say,

“I won’t be long,”

but you would always

be gone too long,

and I’d still be longing

for you to belong to me...

I want to belong with me

I lost myself this month

Don’t know who I am

Don’t know how to find my old self

Don’t know who I can

I want to belong with me

Feel like myself when I look in the mirror

Rather than feel afloat

Want to feel grounded

But something grips me-some terror

I want to belong with me

With some pep in my step

A smile on my face

A goal in mind

A future I can dream of

I want to b...

Tell me a boring story

About one stupid event

The whole emotional roller coaster

And what everything meant

Belonging in its glory...

The only place I belong is in my skin.

But it gets hard to find where my skin belongs

I know where it has before

And I can envision where it will be

But right now?

You can always tell when your skin doesn’t belong

You can feel it sucking in

Trying to trade places with you

Sometimes it’s easy to tell where it belongs

It doesn’t suck in

It expands out

And fills a room

And it’s hard to ...

We all want to belong

Whether that be a place

A person

Or even just a thought

We all want to be that important

To belong somewhere,

To feel like the most important in the room

To feel needed

To feel irreplaceable

So go out into the world

Find your environment,

Find your people

And

Find where you truly belong...

When the rain continues to patter on

We lean on one another to travel beyond

When the sky is clear we all give a cheer

Playing in the open moores

We collect flowers from around the world

From Lilys and roses

To Cordelias and lotus

We all gather round in parties for all of us

Singing round the flame

Dancing to vibrant lights

We chose to stay to together as friends and siblings...

Definition of Belonging: an affinity for a place or situation

Tides of life cascade into one

And falling becomes a cycle

I am thrown in between

From home to alone

From friends to none

From love to hate

And then I fall again

Tides of belonging disappear

There is no place, no person, no situation

Everything becomes a blur

While I fall continuously

Closing my eyes so easily

That falling becomes ...

Everybody uses a different meaning for everything, it’s sometimes the way we display them. What the word belonging means to me is a sense of worth that you have in this world. It’s just your choice to display the gratitude or worth knowing that you belong, then and now. Sometimes we don’t want to be here or we grief over things that has happened, or that’s going to happen. We all have to push our ...
