Religion Sex Origin Or Race

Did you ever feel out of place
Were you the only one in the room
Not faith, sex, root, or race
Had to do with this gloom

You say something no one heard
With eye’s staring through your face
You dare not utter a single word
Did you ever feel out of place

As if they want you to fail
As if they want you to loose
Such a feeling of utter pale
Is this the place that you choose

If you leave this situation
No one would even know you were there
But since you have no real temptation
You use valor instead of flair

Did you ever feel out of place
No place for man to be
No soul’s true space
Move on there’s more to see

"Religion Sex Origin Or Race" Here’s a raw, unflinching look at feeling out of place—not by labels, but by something deeper. The tension of silent stares and unspoken judgments builds to a defiant call to move on, sharp and human.
