Always

Always a little odd
Never too extreme
Not what is expected
Nothing as it may seem

Always saying the wrong thing
Trying to get it right
Simply out of step
And a little out of sight

Always on the outside
Trying to look in
Never really gets it
Keeps so much within

Always playing the odds
Scared of getting close
Never truly opening up
No-one knowing what she knows

Always a little strange
See’s from every view
Trying to be better
Not quite getting through

Always in control
Yet just a fraction out
Questioning the same
Unsure what it’s all about

Always doing her best
Though it’s never good enough
Lost in the confusion
Instead of lost in love
