One of Life's Square Pegs


There’s a feeling lived inside me.
And it’s bothered me for years.
The kind of thing you just don’t admit.
I’m not a secret drinker and I don’t crave brillo pads.
But there’s this part of me that didn’t seem to fit.

I’ve lived my life through example,
By watching other people
And seeing that they seemed to do it better.
They don’t bother about perfection or what the others think.
They don’t need to do it strictly by the letter.

I’m breaking out.
The steel bands have bound me long enough.
My emotions are much deeper. I see in vivid colour.
I live by what feels right for me, not them.
I care deeply for the underdog.
I understand animals and children.
And I know that I am
One of life’s
Square pegs.
