Why Don’t I Fit In? A Powerful Poem On Letting Go

  A Thursday Thought… Sometimes I feel not just weird, but outside.Not just separate, but on another planet,Not just unusual, but very different.Try as I might to fit in, it just does not happen.I cannot do this anymore.I realise I sometimes try to prove myself to others who have me already in a box of their own misunderstanding and I cannot rip that box up because they see me a…
