Finding Myself

I don’t fit in the crowd I stand out,
So I’m excluded can't hangout,
Every single day without a debate,
People are always gunna hate,
They will  also alienate!
So why do I try so hard to be accepted?
When that only leads to me being rejected!
The fact is I'll always be an outcast,
The kid that always gets picked last.
But yet I still try so hard,
Despite just being a discard.
No one can see my pain,
That it's a constant strain,
Or every single scar;
From where I went too far.
Alas I wasn't going to die,
No matter how hard I try.
So I decided to just be me,
As you'll never be judgement free.
There's no point in being fake,
Caring what people think is the mistake!

Tara congratulations on a well deserved win in Brenda's Haters contest my friend.. Truth is it is the haters that are weak and living in darkness. Poets that write to help others are simply doing what poets are meant to do.
