All these people around me,
I don't know what to do.
I want to fit in,
by just being me;
But no matter how hard I try,
they never see the real me.
The only way they will accept me,
is if I act like them.
But I think if I do,
my life will come to an end.
All I want to do
is be part of the social pool,
by just being me.
But all I do is hang around the side,
and dip my feet in,
only when being held by the hand.
I enjoy being me,
and don't want to change.
But to be part of the group,
I lose me,
and end up lost instead.
As life moves on,
I know I shall find the answers,
to this problem I have.
But no matter what I know,
I still feel like I will be left behind;
Unless I become part of the crowd.
For now I don't care if I join the group.
I'd rather be me,
and have people accept who I am.
For I feel I will find the answers I need.
But I just hope I can hang on,
and live through the hopeless fears,
of being left behind,
and the possibility of being......
alone.
