Misfit

I am not pretty, I am fat

I get awkward even during a regular chat.

A nasty comment from an unknown person is all it takes to doubt my self-esteem!

Why am I always the last one to be picked on the team?

I am so anxious. I am so confused.

Seeing my nervousness, at times, even I am amused!

Is ‘Looks’ the only thing which matters?

What about having good heart, being smart, aren’t those things much greater!

No right answers to my questions

Try this! Try that! All I get are lousy Suggestions

Many times I wished to be one of those popular kids at school

I tried so many things to be “COOL!”

My Peers laugh at me, and at times I do too

I guess that’s because it’s the easiest thing to do…

One fine day I said to myself “Enough is enough! I don’t have to change even a bit!

So what if I am a misfit!

If I accept myself the way I am, so will everyone

After-all my journey has just begun!
