Best Black Sheep Of The Family Poems


No Cooing of Doves
A big hole is in my shoe
My front tooth is on the loose
Poor car won’t start today

My best friend just ran away
He’d be better off as stray
3 days now we have no food

Thunder and the rain begins to fall
From the roof and down the walls
The...

Your Grandson
Our Families all done great things

Such deeds to make you proud

But I've always been the black sheep

That stands out in our crowd


I've took too many chances

And swam the seven seas

While all our clan grew businesses

Gained wealth and PHD's


But you'll never hear a bad word spoken

For...

The Game of Life
I've experienced many things in my life
things went wrong things went right
I didn't grow up rich or in poverty
many people didn't treat me properly
in trouble through a trouble filled childhood
often misunderstood labelled bad more than good
was very much the black sheep of the family
never played...

Irony of Eggs
All eggs are White when Laid
But some may not be as good as others
Even if kept safely in a safe environment
you only come to know about this
(unless  you had  tested them for fitness in some other way)
 when they crack and at least...

Costly Love
If every black sheep of the family
Became a billionaire
Then maybe others of that family
Would want then more to share.

It is so then they’ll testify,
“By God, we have not been unfair!”
If so by God then answer please,
“What did it cost to care?”

For years they live in shadow
For years they've been mistreated
For years they've been ignored and pushed aside
Black sheep of the family
Blamed for everything
From the broken window to the last place in line
Who is to care?
Seems no one
As long as nothing is broken
Nothing needs to fix
Who...

Mymom
My mom
one of six daughters
a wild one not easily tricked
or oppressed
if she hears no she says what who and why
she makes noise when expected to be silent
the black sheep of the family
fire and fury in her veins
a rebel 
ready to  protect
Her beautiful voice
she can...

Falling Back
There in benny street im in a heap
bright water all around me
Im a cheap wine in a drunken drain
I don't need anyone dancing around me
If I were a black sheep of the family
I pillow down
I kick all my belongs
down rainbows end
Cant get a grip of...

Adoptee Victim of the Holidays
Adoptee Victim of the Holidays by Corey Quinn (Chaotic rhyme scheme to match my emotional state)

As I enter the home to over salted deviled eggs, loud dogs and poisonous side conversations,
the adoptive family quickly unleashes their shallow holiday greetings and stale smiles.
The black sheep of...

Black Sheep To Goat
Black sheep to goat
Pull out a pen & pad and please take note
But make sure the pad is thick and the pen is filled with ink
'Cause I have a truckload of information that'll make you think
This tale is not for the faint of heart
The clandestine...

Black Sheep
The black sheep of the family.
It's how you've made me feel, you see!
I cannot do no right from wrong.
Why can't we all just get along?

I'm often always criticized.
As well as feeling ostracized.
By those that I do love the most.
I can remember when that we were...

Peculiar
O, strange, unusual, odd one.

You never seem to fit in; you always find yourself in front of the gun.

Always at the end of scurrilous attacks

They aim and shoot vitriol with their shameful acts.

But fitting in was never a part of the plan.

Apart, you were set...

Echoes Of Hurt
I ate what was given,
yet still, I grew too much,
my body betrayed me,
while your words cut like a blade.
“You’re so fat,” you'd say,
as if it was my fault to bear,
a child branded for something
I couldn’t fix or repair. 

Still, you'd say, "Eat all your dinner,"
like...
