Outcast
by Tayla Bolling


Cruel!
Just 'cuz I didn't go to your school
Just 'cuz I don't say "dope"
I say cool
You make me an outcast


My hair isn't short and dry
To get along with white people,
I don't have to try
Peace out?
Uh uh… I say goodbye
Yet and still, you make me an outcast


Different
That's all I am
Narrow minded haters will never understand
The true gem that I am
Maybe I want to be an outcast


Acceptance
What does it get you?
You jump into their mold and let them shape you and reshape you
Twist you fold you
Until you don't know who, what, where you…
Get the point
I'm sick of this joint
It's time for me to be proud to be
An outcast
