Belonging

Is there such a place
That we can belong

She doesn't fit anywhere
And it's hard to be strong

She wants a place to be herself
And people to accept it

Maybe she only needs one
She just wants you to accept her

She's surrounded yet alone
Because nobody listens

They only see with their eyes
And can't read behind the lies

It's ok, it's alright
Because we don't see your plight

Take no notice of this girl
Who has irrational fright

She is unreasonable
And doesn't care

She is cut off from the world
So why do they stare?

I get it, I do
You want somebody to blame

You can't accept her
And will put out the flame

Just because she is different
And can't be read

Let's ignore her words
And tear her down instead

She's misunderstood
And would change if she could

But she is fine this way
And fine alone

And she will remain this way
Until that day

Because she is not changing
And looking for a place to belong

All she needs is one person
To make a difference

And notice the words
And the silence alike

And takes the bad along with good
And she can be understood

She's alright being alone, yet...
still wants a place to call her own
