Fitting In......

'Fitting in' is hard to do ,
being different should not matter.
The cruel words of others only hurt ,
so what if someones a little fatter.
Whats inside should really count ,
the outsides like the cover of a book.
The only way to get to know someone ,
is like opening a book and taking a look.
Life it so unfair when you don't 'fit in' ,
and it happens weather your young or old.
If you don't match that perfect image ,
your made to feel like your left out in the cold.
Its easy to say you shouldn't have to change ,
to ignore others and just be ones self.
But life can be lonely when your different ,
pretty much like being left on the shelf.
I was teased all through school ,
for being the short chubby one.
To top it all i wore glasses too ,
try to ignore but the teasings really no fun.
Now I'm a mum and my heart is breaking ,
my middle one is the image of me.
At school he's finding it hard to 'fit in' ,
says the odd one out he'll always be.
I hate that kids can be so cruel ,
making my boy feel so very sad.
I tell him theres nothing wrong with him ,
not 'fitting in' isn't so bad.
Society is to blame for all this ,
it creates an image of how we should be.
It you don't 'fit in' life seems that bit harder ,
inside your hurting but no one can see.
