Fitting In

Everyone always says
�You don�t need to fit in�
�Be yourself�
But it�s a lot harder than that
Try being yourself after being told it�s stupid
After being told that you were worthless
After being put down for years

Now that I�m older
I want to fit in
I want people to like me
I want to make relationships
But it feel like it doesn�t work
Because I�m not like them

They smoke
I don�t
They like screamo and rock
I like pop
They are comfortable in social situations
I�m not

How am I supposed to be myself
When my closest friends
Are so different from me?
I feel like I don�t fit in with them
That they don�t like me because I�m so different
Why is she dating me
If I�m so different?
What does she see in me?

I can�t make new friends
I don�t want to leave my old ones
So how can I be myself
If I�m never comfortable?
