Empathy
Empathy for the outcasts
Close your eyes and visualize
the pain that an outcast feels every day and night
I emphasize to all the outcasts just trying to get by
live their lives
but fail to live up to societies stereotypes
the women that behave decisive and aggressive
but don't live up to the standards of being attractive
the men
that display nurturance rather than aggressiveness
are being forced to hide their inner selves like their being held captive
Outcasts
Are continually being laughed at
rejected by society and stepped on like doormats
Societies mission
is to make them victims of ascription
they're constantly being given negative characteristics such as
ugly
creepy
Freak
Why are outcasts being punished just for being unique
I emphasize the anger outcast feels
Sadness that they feel
Feeling of loneliness in the cold world
We need to open our eyes and help the outcast be accepted into their dream world
A world where they are accepted for being themselves
Rather than being forced to behave like somebody else
