Black Sheep among Black Sheep

Among black sheep, I'm darker
Among outcasts, I sit alone
In this world I'll never truly fit
Like a square peg into a round hole

Among cats, I am the blackest
Among birds, I am a raven
The only emotions I receive are pity
Or the ones who wish to scar me even further

Among numbers, I am thirteen
Among pennies, face down
Where I go, things go wrong
All that comes to me is sorrow

My place is forgotten
My place is pitied
My place is valueless
My place is the black sheep among black sheep

Where I live I am constantly surrounded by people, and yet always alone
