Do I belong?

These voices haunt me,

Constantly asking me,

And waiting for me to give in and submit to the doubt.

If I belong, where is my place?

It seems that I have no place in this world,

I feel alone,

And bleary-eyed,

I wonder if I really do belong.

The voices from the dark call out to me,

Beckoning me to join them.

I try to ignore their pleas,

But it just gets worse,

And only questions come to mind,

Do I belong?

Where do I belong?

Where is my place?

Will I find someone who cares?

Will I find someone who loves me for who I am?

These words ring in my head,

I feel as though I’m running in circles.

I’m lost,

Forever doomed to a corner,

All by myself.

I’m on a path of no escape,

My life is going nowhere because I can’t seem to find my place.

Do I belong?

Or was I made to walk this world alone?

How can I trust someone,

If they are just haters?

They will make me feel welcomed,

Like I have a place,

But then they will try to change me into one of them,

Or something I hate.

I need someone to tell me where I belong,

If I belong.
