The Outcast

the darkness

Being an outcast

Is the stream

That runs through my veins.

My soul is trapped

In forest of darkness,

No one will find me,

Even if they tried

My heart turns black

as more labels come forward

like

Black, white, immigrant, nerd, retarded

People judge me

like

Friends, strangers, mom, dad, even myself

People misunderstand me

I met Melinda in The book Speak

And I found my soulmate,

We hide from the light,

The beautiful colors,

The air of nature,

Biting our lips,

Pretending We don’t care of being hurt,

but deep down we want to disappear.

My dreams are just dreams,

My opinions are just opinions,

Shut up little girl, you don’t have a vision

Says the teacher in the room that thinks he knows who I am

Like

You cause too much problem,

You’re always alone, reading books

Probably planning to hurt somebody,

I will be watching you  little girl,

Stereotypes and stereotypes

Just cuz I want to work independently

Doesn't mean I trying to hurt the Humanity.

I am a person,

I don't want to be just one blade,

I want to be an Swiss Army knife,

SO I CAN CUT MYSELF OUT OF THIS BOX

And be the key to be free.

I want to be successful,

I love to Run, read, dance, skate

But I need my own privacy

and my own escape.

Great story its hard being looked at labeled being called names outcast misfit and most of all comes that judging from society. I know all about it. That really rubbed me wrong about the teacher saying what they did . I mean my gosh what is wrong with educated ones mind to reading. Never stop being what gives you joy:)
