Knives and batons.
You’ll use anything
Just to feel like you belong.
To be a necessary part
Of a group,
Not a sad loner with an empty heart.
You’ve no real identity,
Making it easier to swim
With the others in the bland sea.
One day you will find
That the key to confidence
Is deep in your heart and formed by your mind.
