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
