Somewhere
I need a safe place
 I need a place where I can be myself
 But as soon as I think I’ve found it
 It becomes a hell even worse than any before
 I find a group of people I think I know
 People I think accept me for me
 And then someone lets loose a single comment
 That lets me discover
 That it was all a lie
 And I was just an annoyance that
 Everyone just put up with
 Maybe it is just me
 But just being tolerated isn’t appealing
 Is it so bad for me to want somewhere?
 Somewhere I don’t have to worry?
 Somewhere I don’t have to pretend?
 Somewhere I can say what I want?
 And not sound immature?
 Somewhere I can draw whatever I want?
 Somewhere my weight doesn’t matter?
 Somewhere I can wear what I want?
 Somewhere I can listen to what I want?
 Somewhere I can BELONG?
 
 But that isn’t right.
 It’s so selfish of me.
 
 Oh well, 
 I can still dream….right?
