Never Me
May 16, 2022
I can't be myself here
I could, I guess
But it’s not the same
I feel alone
Not even apart of the “crowd”
Just
There
No one listens
No one cares
They say they do
Maybe they think they do
But they don’t
Not for me at least
I look around for my place
Day and night
The day is harder
Nervous wet sweat dripping down my back
Everyone can see me in the broad daylight
I don't think anyone realizes
The ones that struggle
Tail between their legs
They feel they will never fit in
I think I have hope
A little at a time
I feel more grown
And happy
