I've always been a bit different to everyone else,
So sometimes it feels easier to just be by myself.
I feel out of place in my own family.
The odd one out, the black sheep- it's definitely me.
When I'm around others I just don't seem to fit in,
And then the anxious spiralling will begin.
My anxiety builds up and storms,
As I try my best to fit into social norms.
But it takes so much energy,
To try to be a person I wasn't born to be.
In this world I just feel like an outcast,
People only like me when I wear my social mask.
I have hope that one day I will find,
Someone who prefers me when I leave my mask behind.
