Outcast


I am an outcast

i am a freak

i am hated

 

Nobody understands

Walking around with a secret hard enough

Telling helps but no one will know how it feels

That's why i only tell a few, the ones I trust

 

Sometimes they aren't there and I am alone

People always ask why am I like the way I am

I say because this is me you can't change it

 

But the secret destroys what trust i have left for strangers

So I roam the halls alone, waiting for my secret to destroy me

 

I do not belong here

i do not belong anywhere

i wish i belonged somewhere

i am an outcast
