Out of place


Sometimes I really feel like I don't belong. A lot of the time, I'm just being silly, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm trying too hard in places I'm not supposed to be. This is a good example. I only really started writing as a hobby a couple of months ago, and already I'm posting my work as if I'm good enough to be among talented, experienced writers. I'm out of place and can't help worrying that this is all I'll ever do- try to get involved in things I don't have talent for. I find myself with many hobbies, but none I'm particularly good at- I'm mediocre in everything I try. 

I've never fit in, despite my best efforts. I'm an only child so I'm too young to belong with my family, yet I behave a lot more mature than my peers at school. I'm always in the middle, always not quite good yet not quite bad, always the odd one out.
I know this is a bit of a weird one, but I had to get it off my chest.
