Days spent questioning why
faking smiles amongst the crowd
become quiet,meek little me
but inside I want to scream so loud.

Stare until they become a blur
as tears flutter on the end of my eyelashes
conversations drift off over my head
when I speak, it only clashes.

I have become nothing but a figure
someone there to just fill space
I know that I don't belong here
do I even belong any place?

My heart grows heavier
desperately trying to fill a void
not wanting to be so lonely
but sometimes you don't have a choice.

But then from somewhere up above
there's a whisper carried through the wind
that there is a place where all are welcome
where my family and I will be reunited again.

Life is one journey after another
and though for me it's too much to bare
I will pick myself up and keep going
knowing that I am accepted somewhere.

Yes you are welcome there but before that there is a warm place for you on this earth too.  Love, Joyce

Yes, you belong here.  People may not know you, but that can change - this poem well described the way I used to feel and what happened to me. And I have come to realize I am welcome here, I belong, and there is a point to my existance - and yours as well.   Maybe you'll become the girl we all know and love here at Pip. I think I can safely say we are all interested in what each other has to say.

This is a good place to find acceptance.  I think everyone has felt like this at least once in their lives; take comfort.

oh yes! I can relate to this, and I'm pretty sure my brother could have as well.
I know that lonely feeling, the feeling like you don't belong.  I imagine Jesus probably felt the same way when He walked the Earth.

But that just makes Him more able to understand what we're going through.
There is no love out there like God's love.
And when you feel alone remember there is always someone who will love you, and never leave you, and never break their promise to you.

There are a couple poems I've written about that if you care to take a look at them.

Life may have influenced who we R, but we're responsible for what we become.
I don't question YOUR existance- GOD

Yes, and right now, that wondrous place where Divine Love resides, is your heart.
We are never alone, but sometimes we forget.
Love, Margherita
