I belong!!!

I belong!!!

I never belonged in any group at school

Maybe because I seemed weird 

Maybe because they saw me as a fool

Maybe because I knew they weren't what they appeared

I never got along with most 

 Maybe because I would rather keep to myself

Maybe because I won't play anybody's host

Maybe because I would rather read a book from a library shelf 

And I use to think that was a tragedy 

I use to think the worst of me

But soon I  found a different game with a different strategy

And honestly...

Now I have somewhere to belong

I am a writer 

And this is what keeps me strong

Never again will I look at the dark side,No! I will be brighter

Now that I belong ...

You absolutely belong my friend! I am glad you are finding writing a comfort in your adolescent years, they are so difficult, but an artistic medium is just the right medicine for some. And the great thing is that we can clearly see you growing in your writing with each new work you come up with. Really awesome!

Little grammar suggestion:

And I use(d) to think that was a tragedy
I use(d) to think the worst of me

Keep it up my friend!

Thank you so much Ashira! I thought if i used "use" it would sound more like i'm a kid but I see your point :p

It labors and struggles to get to the end of each couplet, but it does get there. Good work for staying on target, but unfortunately you lost all cadence in the process. It is a shame that you did not realise earlier on that writers hold a significant and numerous place in this world, surely you understood you were being taught through books? I am glad you feel as though you belong now, I think you do too, though that pencil needs sharpening.

This was most enjoyable, both as a well written poem, but also as a lesson in optimism. So often "serious"poetry sems to infer that there is no hope for the writer. You have conquered this by using your writing as a positive outlet. Not all of us want to be part of the herd, but being positive allows you to be approachable. I know, because I'm the same!! Keep writing and smiling.

I never got alone with most , I assume that alone = along. Well Micky that's fantastic that you have managed to channel your interest and found an environment to do so. Happy days! Hopefully now from strength to strength you will build upon your individuality and who knows right? The say practice makes perfect! Although then the perfect becomes the enemy of the good.

So many riddles!

Thankyou!
