PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i feel like i'm on the outside

looking in over my own life.

i see them passing me by

and there's no wonder why.

my limbs are growing too long,

i don't belong here.

circling this room

i curled around myself

to stop a shiver in my chest.

but these feelings never rest.

all alone, i'm trying my best.

still, i don't belong here.

he's made it clear,

his priorities are there

staring me in the face.

he's let me know my place

and right now it's not next to him.

his stress won't let me in.

for now, i don't belong here.

needing someone 

is too desperate to share.

especially when you reach out

and nobody is there.

i pretend not to care

but everything is amplified.

it's not that i haven't tried,

it's just that i don't belong here.
