Out Of Place
March 20 2022
“Were moving” one single sentence and now my whole life is changed.
It all happened so fast 3 months later I'm in my new home.
Now I don't know what to do with my new life.
It sounded crazy to me where i am now no one knows who i am
I could start school pretending to be british saying i spent my life traveling the seas
Or
I could be from Texas starting a new life, with a cool accent
Or
I could just be me
I decided to just be me
But that wasn't enough I guess?
I didn’t get that warm welcome my mom and the advisors said i would get
I definitely did get stares
I had 1 real friend that whole 1st semester
Almost all of you treated me like dirt it did hurt
I've always been kind
I hate feeling like what i said was not heard
I hate feeling like i'm from the outside looking in
I hate the distant whispers and giggles when someone gets paired up with me
I hate how people have false perceptions and squeeze people into these boxes they can't escape
You don’t know me
