My family is a puzzle
My family is a puzzle,
We all fit together, but im a different color than everyone else
So while we all make one prefect puzzle,
There is one section that stands out like a sore thumb from the rest,
That's me.
My family is yellow,
Im purple,
We are on opposite sides of the color wheel
But we still collide,
Nonetheless, I still stand out.
My family has stripes on them,
They all go in the same direction each and every day,
I have polka dots,
Big, small, and always changing.
School is a puzzle too,
Where everyone has their own groups,
The edge pieces,
The middle pieces,
the pieces with patterns,
and the pieces without.
I look like an edge piece,
But I don't have an edge,
I act like a middle piece,
But I have too many edges.
No matter what I do,
Who I talk to,
Where I go,
I won't fit in.
But does anyone really fit perfectly into place?

Hey Im Louisa and im a high school student. I was adopted from Colombia and I wrote this poem about feeling like I don't fit in no matter where I go. Feeling left out has always been something that I have felt in my life and I wanted to explain it somehow in simple terms that would make sense. Some other things about me are I play tennis and cheer for my school during the winter. I have been in girl scouts since the second grade and my second language is Spanish. I hope you like my poem.
