I belong
They call me strange,
They call me odd,
They make me feel like I do not belong,
They bullied me instead of trying to understand me,
Made me want to hide my gills,
Too afraid to even feel,
I swam alone in tears,
Until someone said “I like your tail”
Another creature that looked like me,
Making the sea seem not so scary,
A new friend who made me feel strong,
I no longer feel alone Instead I belong!!
