My place in this world
Sometimes in this world, I’m trying to find a place where I belong
I’m simply trying to survive in a world that doesn’t fit me in
Trying to find a place for me where I belong and where I can feel right at home
Trying to find where I can fit in this world of mine
Finding a niche to carve out for myself
Finding a place where I belong and feel like I am myself.
Finding a place where I can be me and not have to worry about anything else.
It’s like trying to find a home where I belong, and home is ever elusive.
Been searching far and wide for this place where I belong
Searching very high and searching very low
But every place I have gone to, I have never fit into anything
Never felt like I was at home or ever welcomed
Never felt like I was included
Never felt like I was accepted for being myself
Always felt like an outsider looking in
Always felt as if I was never here or never part of something
I was never accepted by others or anyone on this planet
I was always one of those whose last for anything
Who never got to do anything or achieve anything?
Often times I was always an afterthought to most people.
Always had to carve my own path
Blaze my own trails
Even achieve things and accomplish things when others aren’t looking or celebrating.
I’ve always felt like I never had a place for me in this world
Always felt as if this world never fitted me in somewhere
Which is why, people never seem to see me as a person
Let alone a human being
I was always in the shadows and often times in the shadow of others.
Never felt as if people included me or made me feel like I was being included.
Which is why I never having a place that people would see me and accept me
I was always searching and will always keep searching until the very end.
If there was ever a place for me, I would know it, if it fit me like a glove
Until then, I’m always gona try to find my place in this world
And find a home where I truly belong.

Perhaps you have found your place. I can relate to your feelings of isolation in some respects. I, myself, am a loner. Basically, I have bad social skills, and social interaction is draining to me, so I don't really 'fit in' well. You are never alone. With 7-8 billion people on the planet, there will always be someone who is experiencing similar feelings to you. That is your place in this world. To find the people and the things that you relate to the best. It is very hard to find people who I truly connect with as well.
Maybe you aren't looking hard enough? Instead of focusing on the things that make you different from everyone else, try to focus more on the things we have in common. You may find it to be more than you think :). I think part of your struggle is your self-esteem, and feeling comfortable being yourself. Do what makes you happy and try not to worry so much about what others think or if you fit the part. Just do your thing and the rest will come...
Anyway, sorry for rambling. I enjoyed the poem, but it was sad. Just wanted you to know that I can relate. Thanks for sharing your poetry.
