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 my kind of fun Everyone believes belonging is a place Where we go, who we’re with, what we do But to me it’s something different Something only comprehended by few To me belonging isn’t a place, nor is it a person Because all of that can go away People can change and places disappear Things like these don’t always stay To me belonging is a feeling A feeling that makes us warm We say we belong because we feel we belong It’s to this mindset we conform We may be a part of a group Maybe we’re a part of a place But It’s the feeling of belonging And it’s this feeling we embrace So where do I belong? Where do I feel I should be What makes me feel so warm inside The feeling that makes me feel free There’s only one place I feel belonging to And it’s not comprehendable to a lot It’s in the silence with a book A book that saved me from going rot This book and silence is where I belong It’s where I feel warm It’s where I can go when I’m in trouble And leave without a storm This book and silence is my peace And the author is my favorite So anytime I get to read it You better believe I savor it So when you try to find where you belong Don’t look for people or a place But instead go find what brings you peace What makes you happy and doesn’t make your heart race
