Transplant


I feel out of place

with myself

with my everything

i don't 

belong

 

i don't belong in this house

i don't belong in this body

i feel like someone took me

From where I belong

and put me right here

 

I feel like a transplant

a failed one

to say the least

 

screw this

screw it all

All I can think is

i want to go home

BUT I DONT HAVE ONE

 

screw this

 

I don't have a home because I don't have a place where I can feel safe and loved and

cared for

i don't have a place where I know I belong

I only know where I am

right now

 

Who am I?

be damned if I know

I want to be where I belong

but where the hell is that

I'm a transplant

with forgotten records

I'm not terrifically big or small. I'm not exactly normal. I like Star Trek, pets, and the number five. I have a cow named gabe.
