Best Outcast Poems

If you're weird, a black sheep, a natural outsider,
If you fish in a solitary pond.
If you come from the lonely, the lost and forgotten,
If you're eccentric, living beyond

The social etiquette of populist mantra,
To say and do what others demand?
Then you and I are friends in...

When one feels like an Outcast, one can over compensate
In ways that are extreme to try and change their fate.
This can make them do things others cannot relate to,
If they know not of such pain one suffers through.

When one is on the outside, always looking...

Essentially, there are two opposite Christologies.
Jesus as King, Jesus as outcast
Scripture plays with both
But the 2nd speaks to me far more powerfully

I like the idea of a Savior 
Lives with the meek and poor
The humble and humiliated
A Savor that says power and wealth are obstacles...

merry group of friends 
smart ones sticking together 
i gaze with longing 
lonely days and nights in tears 
it hurts being an outcast

I came from a village
Very fortunate to have attended college
He came from a cottage
Got lost on his quest to finding courage
I need not waste time for I have no future leverage

 During the busy day when both the minute and the hour arm of the clock
Fell...

I've been set aside
As if I should hide
I'm the social outcast
Let's see how long this lasts

I walk down the street
So may people to meet
But I see none to talk
So I guess I'll just walk

Saturday night rolls around
And I leave to go down town
So many parties...

I heard their call in the far land
But I will not respond
Their deeds I will not look at before rising
Their accusations and murmurs however whack me in the face
And my tears become unstoppable
Is it my fault that I know not my father?
A first son born...

Life as of late has been a path I have not perceived that I would go along again. I thought that I was getting better then I ever have been before but now I see it it the other way around. I’m a sad pitiful...

A tiny runt who cannot run,
mom kicked me out because I limp.
The big dogs call me dumb, a gimp,
off-beat orphan, claimed by no one.

A Mowgli bumming all around,
Where is that warmer welcome mat?
there sits Bagheera, mama cat;
a foundling's hope perhaps is found.

She takes me in...

Soul - an outcast ?

Soul is an outcast beneath this sheath,
seldom surfacing from right underneath!
Stoic as ever at the on-going spectacle;
intervening wisdom - ever expecting a miracle.
Apprehended and obsessed to thrills that dissipate;
oblivious to the fact that it is the mind that create!
Incarcerated for lives...

A beach hut in my mind atop the shores of time and, a friend of the outcast....

Not always upon the outside nor, even the in although

I have had moments along lifes journey and way ~

Makes me consider a recent verse: how can one love what...

is it me, or is it my inherent personality?
humanity has become strange, difficult to understand.
i may too have an insecurity
of these worldly and tragic complexities i have to withstand.

if only one valuable word could be triumphantly said,
such a word that would resurrect my soul from...

a
lone
grey wolf 
banished from 
the pack; an outcast 
roaming the vast Arctic tundra 
in search of prey and another pack to belong to.
encountering polar bears; it's a struggle for survival in the harsh elements.

For My Children
-	Daniel Henry Rodgers

As dawn's first blush ignites the eastern sky—a cool
Caress of dew upon the breeze—and the birds' serenade
Pierces the silence, their notes ascending high.

The mist, like a spectral ballet, pirouettes, twirling
In the light. And the flowers, in their resplendent array,
Bloom, banishing the...

If they are staring at you anyway,
