Outcast's Eyes

This is the end of this, the point of no return.
If it was uo to me, I'd let myself burn.
They're teaching ne , but I cannot learn.
Stop driving me crazy, stop being so stern.
The world is an oval, but I've found an edge.
I'm fighting for myself, I'm keeping that pledge.
Stop trying to change me, I dont want to fall.
Stop trying to change me, I'm gonna stand tall
This world ain't a home, this world's just a house
All living together,  like we're each other's spouse.
We cry and we bleed, but we refuse to change
And we wonder what's wrong, like the answers so strange.
Now you may ask, why is this world so messed?
It's not about poverty, its Hollywood and best dressed.
Girls can be lesbians, but guys can't be fags.
Can't kill on the streets, but troops get body bags .
Everyone will be screwed when we run out of oil. 
Dig deeper in yourself, in your own soil.
This world angers me, it makes my blood boil
There's bad uses for everything, even aluminum foil
We call children youth, but they'll never get it back.
Already having sex, some even smoking Crack.
If you ask me, I think that's just whack.
What happened to us? Where did we get off track?
Im sick of everyone who's just trying to use me.
Im sick of everyone who's just trying to abuse me.
But you'll never get to me, I still have my soul
But you're making it darker, almost blacker than coal.
Just chill for a second and drain out the lies 
And look at this world through my outcast eyes.

Your poem rhymes and flows so well.. would love to year you do this as spoken word.. I feel like an outcast and imposter at times ... so i feel your words...
