Fitting into others' crosswords

I tried to fit into other's crosswords
but ended up battling with the black and white
and that's when the colours ditched my sight

Encroaching on my blocks down and across
People descended on my personal space
and I suffocated in their fierce embrace

They scratched me out calling me a misfit
But before they overwrote on my individuality
I skedaddled defending my dignity
