Out of Place
September 3, 2017
To feel out of place
In your own world, out of sorts
Foreign, alien
I try to fit in
To be part of surroundings
To be included
But it's impossible
To ignore the obvious
That I'm not the same
This is true at school
It's been my identity
At home, adopted
Do not share same genes
Creates barrier, set me
Aside as different
To accept myself
I must acknowledge these facts
Be okay with it
How does one feel safe
Being unwanted, outcast
Feels disconcerting
