Fitting In

Eternally the odd one out, we would invariably feel left out

Alone not seeming to fit in with our peers

Others did not receive us, we felt as outcasts

In our loneliness we turned to other diversions to make us more secure

Using artificial means we found ourselves part of an association

Others like us had chosen the same vices, often for the same reasons

We started to discover that the substance that allowed us to fit in was now having the opposite effect

Our comrades started to avoid us we were back where we started

Only now we had addiction to add to our woes

To deal with the affliction we found a place where we could open up about our problems

Others like us had chosen the same solution, often for the same reasons

We started to discover that what allowed us to fit in, was having a positive effect

For instead of medication we found God
