Belonging
Write a poem about what 'Belonging' means to you.
My People
I’ve never been good at belonging, at being normal. I’ve never been effortlessly good at being seen as equal. People would say I’m too janky, that I can’t act natural. And they were right- I didn’t fit in like they did, I didn’t catch onto the trends until later, I never changed my opinions for some hater. But you can’t please everyone, I won’t spend my life on the run from peoples thoughts. I’m going to be considered weird either way, so that’s a memory that’s blurred. I’m still not crazy great, people still don’t like my traits, but who cares? I don’t belong with them, but I belong with my family and my friends. All my friends who are great tens, those who I’ll always defend. The people who hold me while I cry, all the people who believe I can fly. They’re the ones who I belong with.<3
