Thorny Poetry - 33. Belonging

I feel this way a lot, in many different situations. Not so much right at this moment, though.

why do i persist

when i know i don’t belong

and i know it’s not my place

why do i stand here

at the window

 

it’s open

i can see and hear you

and i speak to you

try to join the conversation

insert myself where i’m not wanted

 

this room is not for me

i’m that guy

the one at the party

who no one really knows but who insists

on being part of things

 

i know that i offend

by being here, by taking space

so i should just go away but i wanted

so badly

to belong
