When you don’t fit, when they divide,
In a world where sameness they abide.
Among familiar faces, I’m a bit unknown,
Lost in a big crowd, feeling all alone.
Within my weary soul, a sense of lack,
Longing for acceptance, under their attack.
My thoughts wander, they don’t align,
A solitary path is what I must define.
Uniqueness is at times vain,
And society’s expectations cause me pain.
Refusalโs cut runs deep and steep,
Isolation’s wounds, secrets I keep.
Whispers of my ideas, like the wind they fade,
Dismissed, ignored, as if they betrayed.
But deep inside, a spark of light ignites,
Resilience awakens, fueling my fights.
Indeed, there is a comfort in being alone,
For you know, your soul is safely home.
In time with me, happiness is what I see,
Because my favorite person, it’s just me.
So when you don’t fit, let your spirit soar,
Embrace the beauty at your very core.
In your journey, you’ll come to find,
A unique masterpiece of yourself, of divine design.
The poem is written in first person, with the sole aim of strongly impacting the reader. It drives home the message that embracing our true selves is key to personal improvement and happiness. We don’t require validation from society or others to find joy; self-love is enough. Spending time alone becomes enjoyable when we become our own favorite person. So here’s to a life filled with contentment, joy, and boundless cheerfulness!
