Outsider
A simple poem about being comfortable with who you are.
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (2)
They call me outsider
and I simply smile.
For how can they know
but I've been that a while.

Too primal to be civilized,
too white to be black,
too timid to be powerful,
never talking back.

In both lands of sun
I will never belong,
but I can tell stories,
I can speak song.
So let no one tell me
that my ways are wrong.
