Out of Place


I’m already a misfit out of place 

The one you just can’t seem to embrace 

Not because I’m bad or because I’m good 

I can’t be pegged in the way you think I should 

Some say don’t pay no mind 

While I try to remind myself that standing out isn’t bad 

Things will get better in time 

So don’t unwind the differences but behold them 

Hold on to them like a badge of honor to show the haters that they didn’t make a difference
