Belonging

March 30, 2023

Everything was beautiful Bright, happy, colorful Full of sparkling, magical wonder I started to smile again Thought that maybe I could fit in And the joy would chase away the thunder Gone were the storms I’d known for so long And I believed with my whole being that I could belong

But once again the walls closed in The fear grabbed me and pulled me back in And I ran for a place of safety I do this to myself every time Because anxiety has no rhythm or rhyme Only echoing over and over that everyone hates me It’s exhausting to remember, but I know that it is wrong I know in my heart that I deserve to belong
