Where am I ? - Vanessa Mailhoit 8th Grade
When you feel not right Like you don ’ t quite fit When everyone who surrounds you Pushes you left and right Telling you where to go -What to do , -and how to look
Everyone telling me who to be Feeling like I don ’ t even know who is me They ’ re writing my story for me And I still seem to get it wrong
My head is all jumbled- like a fresh puzzle We ’ re mixed , but we know we are the same That we belong together I know where I am , and who I am -but you get tired and put me away with all the other puzzles , we collect dust
Then you find me- But I have lost my puzzle I ’ m with a puzzle I don ’ t know its been so long , I ’ ve forgotten what I look like Forgotten Who I am , where I belong- do I belong ? I ’ m here with these pieces that I do not know You try and try to fit these pieces that clearly don ’ t fit
Like a piece of a puzzle in the wrong box , I ’ m forced to fit with pieces not like me . When I ’ m found and put in the right box I can be me , I can be who I want to be But until that day- I am forever alone And never will find my fit To find my puzzle To find me .
