I bend and twist,
stretch to fit my surroundings.
Yet, I do not fit in.
Not here; not anywhere.
Then I wonder
what is wrong with me.
Am I trying to hard?
Am I not trying hard enough?
I want to know
what makes me different,
what holds me back,
no matter what I do.
I know I am not alone,
but where are they?
Where are those like me?
How come I cannot find them?
Could it be they're near;
that I’m not the only one around?
Do I not recognize them
because we each strive to stay in silence?
Or why else is everyone about
seem so happy, so bubbly
when I simply
cannot be?
stretch to fit my surroundings.
Yet, I do not fit in.
Not here; not anywhere.
Then I wonder
what is wrong with me.
Am I trying to hard?
Am I not trying hard enough?
I want to know
what makes me different,
what holds me back,
no matter what I do.

Do I not recognize them

Or why else is everyone about
