Out cast
Unwanted, forgotten, alone, it all means the same
Kind, said to be a friend, only in name
Out cast,
They say, you will have friends, though it never lasts

While everyone fights for attention, one other lost in the background
From some they won’t shut up, from me barely a sound
Outcast
For short whiles, I am liked, but each time it will pass

From few kindness, from others scorn, to others just something to ignore
For a while I am interesting, but it goes, forgotten what I’m there for
Outcast,
My world, here and there moving fast

Always I am different, I strive to be me
The others, ignore being unique, doomed not to know who they could be
Outcast, all alone
Fate to never be accepted, to never fit in, unknown

I can’t ever get close, have to break away,
Friendships hard to believe that they might stay
Outcast, hurt, scared
Being my friend hard to believe others might have cared

Some of me believes, the rest thinks it sees
That there absolutely no chance, destiny will again bring me down
Outcast, afraid it will all be fake
It all will be over; again no one will keep up for my sake

That's all I have been, all I am, exile
I can't fight it, I'll never get out,
Outcast, scared to get up after each bout
Torn up inside, pushed over edge, feels vile

I scare my self, at times
Even in my misery I go over the line
Outcast, wondering if it’s worth being around still
A choice is considered; from it I get a chill
I have in the past,
Given it a chance, though as a resort it’s always my last
Outcast, worried, of my life going out of control, running away
Every time I’ve thought it, my life’s chaos, disarray

I’ve always refused, to steep that low
Push on those who know me, that hurt, that woe
Outcast, I know what I’ve done; now I’m not so sure
Do I want to anymore, my memories endure

For a little while, memories don’t hurt, not there
As they are not, such instances so rare
Outcast, those remembrances always come back
All time so far, defended against each attack


In the aftermath weakens my resolves, lowers my will
I think I can keep going, not stop, my emotions not spill
Outcast, that’s not what I ask, but this, Does anyone want me to?
To keep being here, does anyone, do you?

Fantastic poem. I really relate to it and it conveys the emotions so well. It was all good but i particually liked the following stanzas:

While everyone fights for attention, one other lost in the background
From some they won’t shut up, from me barely a sound
Outcast
For short whiles, I am liked, but each time it will pass

Always I am different, I strive to be me
The others, ignore being unique, doomed not to know who they could be
Outcast, all alone
Fate to never be accepted, to never fit in, unknown
