I Did Not Belong Poem by Neha K Manoj

Everything felt new to me
Everything hard to control
Everything made me sad
I felt like I did not belong.

I ruined the expectations
That people had built for me
They thought I would be someone in them
Only to feel like I did not belong.

Among a crowd of people in the room
With blonde hair and blue eyes
There I was, the odd one
With black hair and brown eyes.

I would stand far away
Very far that noone would see me
But the odd one would
Never be missed out.

Everytime I was near them
I wondered if I had
The same blood as theirs
If I was in anyway related to them.

I did not belong there
I was very imperfect in front of them
My appearance was enough for it
Though they sometimes forgot that I was a human too.
