the 18th poem

I've never been too in love with big crowds 

I've always felt like a sore thumb 

'cause maybe individuality is a blessing  

If you know how to handle it

without feeling there's something you're missing.

I always thought I would eventually know how to handle 

realising that I would  never fit 

with those I was raised with, 

knowing how to handle 

the feeling on my throat that makes me feel suffocated

and stop  panicking 

everytime I want to talk out loud 

out of fear of saying something wrong

and ending 'the vibe' that's going on. 

But I eventually realised

that maybe fitting in with the people you grew up with

isn't as bad as people makes it seem,

that in the world there are  people similar to me

and that understand me, 

that's not necessary play pretend for them to like me,

that's not necessary to push myself to be liked,

that's not necessary to be someone that I'm not

because they get me

and I get them.


And that's all that I was looking for.
