Pariah
12 April, 2005
Author: Mike
Thats me.
I'm a social outcast.
Been so ever since I can remember.
I'm not accepted anywhere.
Nothing I do is good enough.
Just because I don't
Think about sex all day.
Just because I don't take drugs.
Just because I don't smoke.
I don't drink.
I dress differently.
I'm a pariah.
It's true what they say:
"Life ain't fair."
I know that better then most.
You'd think I'd be used to it.
5 years and friends I can count on one hand.
I once heard some words of a song:
"His life was stole, now I'll never know"
If only I'd been accepted, would things be different?
I guess I'll never know.
------- Author's Notes -------
The song was Kelly Rowland - Stole. I don't usually go in for RnB, but this song almost brought me to tears the first time I heard it. |
