Belonging, is it something we all do?
Do we all run round
Trying to just belong?
Does our sole purpose to survive
Revolve around belonging?
To belong is to be someone
A somebody somehow
But what is, to belong really?
Is it you belong some place?
Do you belong to someone?
Why place a tag on yourself
To belong to someone?
Is it not enough to belong to you?
No one owns you
No one ever should
To belong to just one place
Deprives yourself of all
The wondrous places in the world
Take a little taste of the fruit
If you like it, devour it whole
If you don't like it's taste
Move onto the next new fruit
The truth is we all belong
To something, someplace, someone
But to keep trying to belong
Only leaves you feeling empty
As though you don't fit in
Let the belonging just happen
Live your life how you choose to
Not how others think you ought to
