The Outsider / The Outcast
Never chase the clique
The elite… the ‘in’ group.
Stand by your truth and your soul
Even when your knees shake like jell-O.
Your heart may beat so hard with fear
That you may think
It will take wings and disappear.
The world may go for your throat
With sneers and ‘I told you so-s’.
But that is when you should dig your heels in
Walk your own path and chase your own dreams…
Refuse to be typecast
Take pride in being an outcast.
