i do not belong here.

my emotions go up and down.
i'm hot and then i'm cold.

i do not belong here.

everywhere i go, i see people smiling and enjoying their time
i look down and yell in my throat,

i do not belong here.

my face is plastered all over walls and on my screens.
i can't look at the fake smiles and pretend they're real.
i just gaze past them, and whisper...

i do not belong here.

i'm typing this as i lay here crying.

i do not belong here.

my mind is a mess, i scream i want out of this never ending limbo of my existence.

why am i here, i wonder.
i do not belong here.

i don't like being alive yet i want to feel alive.
i want to be free.
i want to be able to fly where i may go.

still, i do not think that i belong here.

the truth is,
who belongs anywhere?
are we some piece of property we can sell to others?
do we have money attached to our bodies?

no.

because we are human.
because i am human.
i have emotions and yes they are mostly bad ones.

but i am human.

i serve a purpose.
i serve my sentence.
i serve myself.

because i will make it.
i will not back down.
i will succeed, and then fall, and then succeed all over again.

yes, because as of now.
i do belong
