The Square Doughnut.

poem by: Ann Parks
Written on Nov 23, 2018 

I was always a square doughnut
never felt I fitted in
not posh enough for grammar school friends
not common enough to mix at work.

I was always lonely
from five to fifty
 always an oddity
if people said they knew me
I did not believe them
if they wanted to date me
I wondered why.

Why did I never notice
the common ground with other people
on little things that gave clue to large?
Why did I not understand
that warts and all
I'm allowed just to be!
