Outcast
I walk down the cold dark halls
and glance upon the cold grey walls
The attention and conversations fall upon me
I hide my face and look down sadly
As usual I was the talk of the school
they all made me feel like some worthless tool
The darkness swallowed me and I had no choice
I had to stand up and be my own voice
If no one would help me find my way out of the dark
I had to be independent and strike up a spark
The light burst through the darkness that fell
I was no longer a part of this living hell
I had become my own muse and stood through the night
I finally became that shining light
No longer was I the one who looked down upon myself
I was look down upon by everyone else
