Out of Place
I've never quite understood why I feel so wrong... Like out of place lyrics, in a song.
Throwing the sound, killing the beat... Never dancing in rhythm with the other's feet.
Trying to blend in, with the swaying crowd... Staying in the back, using them as a shroud.
Just wanting to get by, to find my own kind... But the only friend I've found...is in my own mind.
I don't know the song, but I try to dance... Constantly balanced on the tip of a lance.
One wrong step, that's all it would take... To hurry into the light my expected mistake.
So on and on I go, avoiding the light... For fear I be noticed, and not fit quite right.
And when the dance is done, the songs all sung... I've already left, before the bell is rung.
And when I get home, and I'm thinking back... I'll wish for a friend, and the love that I lack.
Amen!
It's crazy that i find this on one of my down days...life kinda sucks sometimes and doesn't make sense. i like the way you compare it to dancing, something that almost everyone can relate to, really really amazing. and hey, about not feeling like you fit in?..."don't try to fit in....you were made to stand out." you have a great worth, and are never alone,(because guess what? God will always love you, even if you don't love yourself:).
