Daily Prompt; Unleash Your Inner Dickens

National Poetry Writing Month is nearly at end. To celebrate it, try your hand at some verse.

Standing outside

Myself wanting

To fit in but

Every spot I

Try holds me

In fear creating

A backing a way

Back to the corner

I see labeled for me

I want more

I want what they have

But what is it that

Draws me to them

That I am lacking

Oh, you say

To only smile

And say a kind word

And people will

Come to me

And want to

Fit into my space

To know who I am

I will try as I

Have not succeeded

Being in their shoes

I will try to

Just to be myself………
