Why Don’t I Fit In? – Written Monday 6th December 2004 (Aged 29)

Why Don’t I Fit In?

why don’t i fit in?
it aches inside
and it gets scary –
when i close my eyes
is it true what they said
am i sick,
or just plain ill 
why don’t i fit in?
i cannot help the way i feel
i don’t where i begin
i long for a harmonious sound
i long to go un-noticed
just fade into the background
it never goes quite right
it falls apart in my hands
and i’m haunted by the night
the chills that make me shiver
will hold me tight
and let’s see what they can deliver
why don’t i fit in?
i will never really know
the knowledge is perhaps obvious
surely it’s time to show
well i try to reach for the stars
and yes, yes i need to grow
