I am the puzzle piece that can’t seem to fit.
A different shape than the others,
Ends too long to fix.

I am the square among patterns of stars,
Strange, confused,
Unwilling to change.

I am the mountain that rises above her sisters,
Wanting to reach for the moon,
Yet afraid, alone, to reach further.

And I am the sun, sending out her rays.
Alone, different,
But at peace in everyway.

This is a tribute to anyone who has ever felt out of place doing what they want to do and decided to do it anyways.

Please comment on this! Even if you think it's the worst thing you ever read, I want to know why.
