I never realized

The air smelled like home

Till I left it, and it, too, left me alone

I hadn’t considered

The feel of the water

The grain of the wood, or

The voice of my father

Now I rest on cool tiles

That have not known my name

_Lone at home_, they cry!

_What a shame._

What a shame....

Amidst a mysterious and perplexing world,

Where comprehension is elusive,

On a cosmic scale where our individual journeys begin and end in solitude,

Each of us develops our own distinct personality as we navigate life's ups and downs,

through love and hate,

joy and sorrow,

tranquility and anarchy,

sorrow and anguish.

In the midst of all the mayhem,

we tend to lose sight of our true selves, ...

You’re to fat.

To ugly.

It’s never good enough.

You can’t ever belong in a cruel world.

Listen to this poem, you’re being told.

Sometimes taking pause to realize that the world isn’t as good as it seems.

It’s always great until it bursts into flames.

You forget peoples names

Friendships end,

Your life takes a bend.

Nobody belongs.

Nobody is perfect.

Nobody deserves this.

What is “belonging”?...

Searching for belonging

Isn’t that something we all do?

It’s that one big thing

That means it not just you

To belong to people you love

Or to a God somewhere far above

Perhaps to a group of friends or a good mate

To someone to whom you relate

To find belonging is also an answer to why you are here

Knowing what and who you’re living for in this atmosphere

Belonging will make you feel that you’...

A pair of arms that will bind around your frame tighter and caulk the windowed ribs

adding an extra layer of protection for your vibrating heart

when the storms roll in

threatening security

Not a pair of arms that writhes and pushes

and rather sink into the black

blind and helpless

fucked raw with lightening

than reach for the tattered raft

The eye of the storm forms in the mind

A state of em...

What does it mean to belong?

I often wonder what it feels like

To fit in, to be wanted

To be heard

To have other people believe in me

To stand up for me

And care for me

Who want to be around me

To find people that will listen

To what I have to say

Who _want_ to hear what I have to say

So I will not be ignored

Not someone who pretends

Pretends to listen

Pretends to to care

Pretends to be a fri...

Crowds make me nervous

They make me feel like I don’t have a purpose

I feel like the thorns on roses

Not knowing when the door closes

The sidekick in a film

Nothing more than a friend for the thrill

How do I change this feeling of meekness

This might be my most vital weakness

What does everyone else do to belong

And why can I not harmonize to their song

I do everything I can and try

To no...

What does “fitting in” mean

It seems like when you “fit in”

Your the same as every one else

Acting the same

Dressing the same

Everything the same

I don’t think everyone should be the same person to “fit in”

The point of being your own person is not being someome else

Everyone has some kind of weird thing about them that they don’t tell people

I think to fit in or belong you have to be your...

With you i feel like i belong.

With you i am strong.

With you i live my life to the fullest.

With you i am the purest.

Without you i feel lonely

Without you i feel ghostly.

Without you my hands are tied.

Without you i lose my might.

Together we are complete.

Togethere we are so sweet.

Together we smile.

Together we reach the sky....

Be known,

And hand in hand,

Wherever you might walk,

With one who has a smile like home,

Eyes too....
