Round Hole
a liar
a fake
my mask hurts
I put it on to try to belong
but the mask is transparent
ones from the other side tell me
"Its good, you need it."
it is not me
it hurts
only remainds me of my flaws
I want to leave
but the dream holds me
the dream where I belong
its farther than words can express
beyond rational thought
beyond my home
and farther still
I have no more wax to build my wings
I am a square peg in the round hole
This one is called "round hole". I wrote it when I was trying to be social and meet new people. I know its the 3rd personal one I've done and I have more. I plan to do less personal ones on subjects like war, religion, ect.

This does express that feeling of trying to belong so well- the imagery is clear and intense except that the Icarus reference is so fleeting. I really like this.Good job.
