Stand Out

Stand Out 

I was never a part of a clique.

I didn't want to be a part of just one group.

I had a diverse group of friends,

then at times, I didn't have many friends.

I never belonged.

Living in Austin, was worse.

I felt alone and isolated.

So, I came back home.

I drowned myself in my sorrows and rejections.

Then, I started a new journey and found where I belong.

I built myself up,

I created my own social circles.

I broke the social norm, and did not go into medicine.

I became a business woman, and diversified myself as much as possible.

I am still finding my way in life, 

 I know to not try and fit in,

but to stand out.
