Black Sheep

No matter what I do or say,

They still push me away,

I look in on their happy little scene,

I won’t be included,

Not even in my dreams,

I’ve tried long enough,

Just to get their attention,

But they always have something better to mention,

Yes,

I’m the black sheep,

You won’t say it but I know,

Want me to be an act,

In your perfect little show,

Sorry,

That’s not me,

I’m just you’re little black sheep.

Author's Note

Wrote this while listening to five finger death punch (never enough) so it kinda has the same story. its about my dads side of the family. I'm really just an outcast to them. Obvoiusly i don't care but heres a piece i wrote out of music and boredum.... enjoy

I love the symbolism I under stained how it is to be the black sheep it is very meaningful awesome job

its good to not confirm with the poisonous customs of a group or a society of people being eccentric and finding your own way even if it means being shunned is better than selling your soul to conformity

Sheep are cute
and Black is the in thing in color
so stick to your intuition
to bring it to its logical fruition
this spells 'woot' and its yours to keep!

So i read this and i loved it, It has a big effect an meaning behind it to me. I guess some word's speak to other's differently. It's intense how this poem sounds like my problems with others in my life, i have had some of the same thing's similar. So Thank you for posting an amazing bit of writing.. as far as being the "troubled" son and having problems and as far as being a black sheep always being used for someones ends.. so again great poem!

It's interesting when you actually notice that you're a black sheep in reality. Not being like everyone else in the herd going "blah, blah, blah, blah in life". lol Great write one of your best to date. :)
