I never let out what my heart had to say, <br />But the moment of truth is here, <br />And it’s gonna stay, so today, <br />I’m gonna show what it feels like, <br />When I hide the truth from my soul, <br />When I ignore <br />What the person inside me has to show. <br />All I wanna be is pure, <br />But I keep telling myself, <br />No one’s gonna love you, <br />And I’m so scared that I let go, <br />Of what I want to be, <br />And what I want to do, <br />And I run from the truth, <br />But the lies hurt me too, <br />So what am I supposed to do? <br />I’m stuck in a world that is even worse, <br />For everything I have to rehearse, <br />What I’m going to say, <br />But again, <br />I’m trying to break free, <br />So I’m not even fitting in between. <br />Truth and lies are okay, <br />But my woes are here to stay, <br />In this world I’m stuck in, <br />Where everything is twisted and mixed, <br />What’s true what’s not I’m in a fix, <br />Don’t know who to believe, who to ignore? <br />What to treasure, what to let go? <br />Trying so hard to be everywhere, <br />Had more of life’s everything – <br />Joys, sorrows, hurt and pain, <br />Much more than my share. <br />And I don’t know what to do now, <br />Now that I have to choose, <br />But what’s the point, tell me how, <br />Can I keep what I have to lose?<br /><br />Vidushi Khera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-fitting-in/
