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.
