do i belong?
By Salum
Some of you may think I’m completely insane,
Or maybe that I’m
a bit, fucked in the brain,
But I make a true claim,
When I tell
you I’m sane.
So don’t judge me yet, you only know my name.
I’m a shy person, as I’m sure you’ve learnt,
Because
my friends, I always get burnt.
When I found this site,
it was so exciting,
That I almost immediately re-started writing.
But I have a slight fear,
Which to some may be clear,
So I ask, “Do I, belong here?”
When I first signed
up I thought, “Acceptance at last.”
But for some reason, I still
feel like the outcast.
I’d love to get to know you all,
But when I try to talk, I stall.
It is clear to me,
Between us you’ll see,
At least one similarity.
So should I go away?
Or I ask, “Should I stay?”
And write
again, another day?

This site will make you a better poet and perhaps a better person, or not (kidding!). You are a welcome addition, thanks.

I think all us of Dark Poets can compare ourselves with this. We are all people looking for acceptance in a society that does us no rights but all wrongs. Truly I believe that you belong here. Very good write.
