Feel That I Belong

Need routine around me

But I won’t participate;

Need to have people near me

Though I can’t relate;

Need to feel a steady hand

But better not to touch me;

Need a partner but no demand

You’ll just have to trust me;

Feel like I’m always alone

Though the fault is all on me;

Feel the need to atone

For simply being me;

Don’t know how to change this path 

I’ve been on for so long;

You don’t have to tell me 

I’m doing it all wrong;

That’s something that I’ve always known 

I’ll get to it erelong,

And join the ranks of humanity 

And feel that I belong.
