This is a poem I wrote about bulling and not fitting in.
Fit In



I try so hard to fit in

I try to act cool

What I didn’t realize

It’s turning me into a fool



I try so hard to fake a smile

Show all my pearly whites

But now I realized

The truth bites



Created this cage myself

Locked the real me in

Fighting against my self

No, I can’t win



No matter what I do

I can never be real

Numb to everything

How will I heal?



Reach out to others

No one grasps my hand

Can I win this battle?

Oh no! I can’t







I scream myself hoarse

To my heart’s content

My soul doesn’t work

Another I’ll rent



Dream of a place

For oddities like me

No one there to judge us

We’ll be free



Here we are bullied

Taunted and Teased

No matter how hard I try

Others won’t be pleased



Weirdo, Freak and Alien

Just few of my names

Do I deserve this?

Am I to blame?



But we are so alike

Our skeleton’s the same

How can I not fit in?

Is God playing a game?



Just figured out I have to

Stand up for myself

Or we could all unite

Nigga, Buckteeth and Elf



Show them what we’re made of

Prove the wrong

Tell them we are all equal

Stand our ground



Midget, Tower, Cracker

Carrot top, Four-eyed freak

Show all the perfect ones

We’re not weak



Together we’ll stand up

Together we’re strong

Together we won’t fit in

Here we belong



I crawl inside the cage

And reach the door

The light reaches my eyes

I want more



The door creaks open

I find strength

I stand up straight

On words I don’t depend



I run outside

Now I’m free

Join hands with others

Freaks and me





Call me whatever

I’ll ignore you

You’re just a failed bully

With nothing to do



Your words don’t hurt me

They never will

Stop being a bully

And just chill



You’re the one who’s a loser

You’re the one who’s a freak

Let me remind you

I’m no longer meek.
