Belong
Looking around
The girl sighs
A tiny tear
Comes from her eyes
No one likes her
She doesn't belong
She doesn't know the words
To any cool songs
Looking down
She continues to walk
When she passes
No one stops to talk
She's out
And they're in
Trying to belong
Is hard to begin
Looking up
She sees a boy
Sitting alone
His face was long
She'd seen him before
It was a big risk
What would they say
If she talked to him
He was no nerd
Anyone and everyone knew
A guy like him
Doesn't talk to that girl
Still she walked further
Getting near
He mumbles something
She can't hear
Sitting down next to him
He begins to cry
Looking concerned
She asks him why
He's very simple
With his reply
He says he'd been there for an hour
And everyone had stared
She was the only one
Who noticed him and really cared
This boy and Girl
Became great friends
And finally she belonged
Even if it took until the end
