Like a bird swimming in the sea
Or an anchor floating in the sky
I did not belong
I tried to find my place
But each time I felt more lost than before
I did not belong
And so I began to wonder if it was this world we lived in I didn't belong in
Or maybe it was this skin I was trapped in
Perhaps my brain wasn't assembled just right
But one thing was for certain
I did not belong
Then it hit me
My difference could rather help me excel or hold me Down
It was what I choose it to be
I may not belong
But this is me
And I can make this work
If I want to
I am a balloon In a tool shop
An open window in the sea
I do not belong
And that's okay with me
