I don't fit in

by Mephastophilis   Oct 13, 2004


I don’t fit in
But don’t feel sorry for me
Because to fit in
I’d have to give up everything I believe

I don’t fit in
There’s no place for me in society
How could I fit in?
When I’m all about individuality

I don’t fit in
But I don’t need your pity
I don’t fit in because
I decide for myself who’s “pretty”

I don’t fit in because
I shouldn’t love my body
How could I fit in?
When society craves on insecurity

I don’t fit in
I don’t want to bleach my skin
I will never fit in because
Fake hair isn’t really my thing

I don't fit in
I don’t believe everything I see
So I couldn’t fit in because
The media doesn't control me

I don’t fit in
I know others wish that they did
But I don’t wish to fit in
Its something my awareness forbids

I don’t fit in
But don’t feel sorry for me
Because to fit in
I’d have to give up everything I believe.

    :D Great write with great message, this is how life should be, no one should be allowed to push you around and you shouldn't need to change yourself just so you can fit in. ;) keep up the good work, take care.
