Belonging
Everything was beautiful
Bright, happy, colorful
Full of sparkling, magical wonder
I started to smile again
Thought that maybe I could fit in
And the joy would chase away the thunder
Gone were the storms I’d known for so long
And I believed with my whole being that I could belong
But once again the walls closed in
The fear grabbed me and pulled me back in
And I ran for a place of safety
I do this to myself every time
Because anxiety has no rhythm or rhyme
Only echoing over and over that everyone hates me
It’s exhausting to remember, but I know that it is wrong
I know in my heart that I deserve to belong
