I do not belong

I do not belong
Neither here nor there
I was born to belong
To a selected few

But then I questioned
The logic of a group
I understood belief and goodness
Was all that was needed

I therefore choose
Someone from both
Now we walk
Our destined born paths

Together
Yet separate
The days have come
When we both realize

This stark difference
We are bound to compromise
The hurt is there
On both the harbor ends

And we remain
...I remain
Swimming afloat
In no man's land
