"placed"

feeling chronically out of place.
out of place around friends,
family,
strangers.
out of place in temecula,
new york-
maybe I have always been
out of place
because I'm not too sure
where my place is.
I am a floater.
a diamond amongst the *******
a daffodil amongst the weeds
a spring chicken amongst
the school children.

I am yearning to be placed.
