The Light of an Outcast
To those who laugh at you in the hallway
You don't know what goes on in my life
To those who say you're ugly
They don't know beauty when they see it
To those who call you a freak for acting "that way"
They don't know how to be free in a crowd
It seems like a lonely existence to push against a wall that won't move
But it takes real strength to be crazy enough to try
You may be one person in a empty room filled with people
But there is a life that you love and choose to live
There are people who are your family and open their arms
Because they go through the same thing every day
There are other people who are brought to their knees
Chained by these social norms
But they break free and fly up to the stars
Because the light up there isn't blocked out
And you, you are beautiful and unique
You don't waste space you fill the hearts of other people with your glory
Your light shines brighter, because you take on the challenge of being comfortable in your own skin
And nothing, NOTHING should stand in your way
Because all dreams begin with an idea, and all great ideas become a reality
You know that you have the strength to move the world
Go for it, don't hold back
If you fall, there are a million people to catch you and you can push back the people that pushed you down <3
