All the days I’ve wandered on this Earth,
Never have I truly felt
Desirable, relevant, or even normal.
Yearning for love and friends,
Excruciating desire to fit in,
Terrified of being shunned,
I wander along, insecure about the way I am.
Squeezing my way through every day,
Unable to comprehend opposing beliefs,
Rejected by everyone I know,
Vile, intrusive thoughts course through my mind.
I wonder when I can understand
Values that our society holds dear.
Even my parents don’t understand me,
And yet I survive.
