Outcast...

About feeling like an outcast but coming out on top and being happy with who you are

Outcast

I feel like an

Outcast, slowly circling the real world

In a daze

Always there but not really there.

Like a ghost, feared and resented

For its presence.

Anger begins to build up inside of me

Stirring and boiling toward

A dangerous peak.

Ready to blow on a moment’s notice

Resentment, anger, and sadness

Began to flow from my broken

Heart,

Tears sting in my eyes

As I release all the built up emotions

Sweeping across my world

Reigning destruction, leaving nothing left

Of the once tattered world of mine.

Beginning a new, a smile spreads across

My lips as stare up toward the blue sky.

“Never forget who you are, be positive

And you can accomplish anything’

My words are carried on a swift wind,

As my body dissolves into the skies

Glinting in the stars at night,

As a constellation of bravery,

For change.
