I try to fit in,
to find my place in this world,
to make friends,
to really know people—
but it feels like
they don’t want to know me.

Maybe it’s because...
I’m weird?
Too emotional,
too attached,
too much?

Maybe I don’t dress like them,
don’t speak like them—
I’m loud,
I talk a lot,
I feel too deeply,
I love too hard.

I guess I just don’t fit in.
And maybe...
maybe I’m not meant to.
