Put in a place,
So Foreign to me,
Without any kind of notice,
Or warning to see,
I had no one to talk to,
And no one in whom to confide,
I put on a fake smile,
Because the pain I must hide,
As if it wasn't hard enough,
being a teen,
I wanted to hate my mom,
for I felt she was being mean,
Imagine being put in a school,
With no one you know,
And all your feelings bottled up,
That you can't show,
It was as if I was standing alone,
In the middle of Time Square,
With no one that I knew,
And no one that would care,
Have you ever been looked at,
as if you don't belong?
They don't even know me,
there assumptions could be wrong,
Old friends start to become distant,
because I don't see them everyday,
Still not understanding why my mom,
Just wouldn't let me stay,
I guess everything happens for a reason,
And one day I will know why,
But for now I will stay hidden,
Behind a mask that tells a lie.
