I would consider myself a misfit.
I don’t really fit in anywhere or with anyone.
I can vibe with people and feel comfortable in places,
but nothing ever really feels like home.

I don’t have a clique at school
or even one definitive friend group.
Even in larger social groups I’m sorta in,
I’m different.

I’m in my school’s debate club,
and I really love it;
I consider myself a good debater.
But even then, I usually hang by myself.
I’ll talk to someone if I have to,
or sometimes I’ll force myself to talk—
to feel normal.

I’m nerdy, but I wouldn’t call myself a nerd.
I actually don’t know what I am.
So many people have their own ideas about who I am
or who they think I should be,
and I don’t think I truly fit any of them

Nobody likes to hear “interesting” nowadays

well, I like to.
I view myself as an anomaly, almost.
I don’t feel like I belong here,
and I’m not sure what I’m like
in every sense.

I’m struggling to find where I belong,
but until then,
I’ll just pretend that I do.
