be gentle my little thunderstorm, the world is just not ready. - a.j. lawless


I don't think I belong here

And I know what people think when I say that

They think she means this town, this city, this region, this state, this country

The truth is I don't mean any one of those

I mean that I don't belong in this realm

I think I will always yearn for far off adventures

For fairies that fly through the night

For fae that like to play tricks

For dragons that spew fire 

For princes who will do anything to save the princess

And princesses that will burn the world down to get what they want 

And I know that we all feel at some point that we don't belong

Most people, they grow out of it 

They become content with what they have 

And stop wishing for childish adventures and magical realms 

I refuse to grow content 

I refuse to settle for average 

I will be amazing and unique 

I will explore everything, and have adventures beyond my wildest dreams

And atop everything, I will learn to fly
