    WORDS of very deep in meaning. They are full of wisdon and wonder. It took several reads to understand your underlying meaning here and it was a real inspiration I must say. ..KUDOS KAMALA KARI

    OK this is your best yet..I have never fit in...anywhere, except maybe at the wrong place at the wrong time...I am ok just to "be" right now and I have found that since I began to kneel..i have begun to feel...I loved this...such intensity it has for me..Outstanding job!

    I never fit in with anyone,
    not even a little bit.
    I truly am one, longing to be...
    yet always accepting me.

    I only see, what I have seen,
    and none of what I require, wasn't much to see,
    yet I can find beauty in everything.

    I stay on my knees,
    and I have survived all my days,
    because of it.

    I have no fight left in me,
    I won.
    I am now at peace.

    Great write, best I have read all day.
    I enjoyed this very much.

    I am not sure where my comment came from, I just found myself typing it.

    An excellent write my friend
    Manyblessings2u & yours always

    Interesting. I am one who is opposed to all fighting, whether it is against another or against myself but I understand where the notion that we must fight to be comes from. Interesting write, with moany possible layers and meanings. It's more of a riddle, if you will. Thanks for the brain workout.

      Riddle is correct and " To Be " you must figure it out

    Ok! I will!

    You have inspired me with this one! I like how to the point it is and how much it carries an impact! It makes me feel like a warrior! I likey that! I forget to kneel, I forget to fight, I forget that the power within me is greater then anything in this world! I am so glad I stopped to read.......you really got me!

    fitting in is plain and ordinary...being different is what I am, so I look for that in others as well. this is a classic example that shows you do NOT need to write an epic to get the point across. well done Kari

    I like the opening: To Be One Must Not Fit In." That describes me because i don't fit in. The message is powerful yet short and simple.
