Voice of the Outsider - February 8th 2012, 11:28 PM

I just joined poetry club at my school and there's a poetry production thing during lunch next Thursday which I plan on doing. This is the poem I'm going to recite. We were supposed to write about how a label we have isn't really us but since I don't really have a label, I just wrote as an outsider. If anyone has any advice or opinions, let me know

I've always been on my own
Yet I didn't choose to be alone
You see me walking with no one beside me
Or maybe my invisibility makes it difficult to see

I used to speak but no one would listen
I'd be with others but part of me was missing
I kept my words locked in my heart
No one wanted to hear what I've said from the start

I'm only an outsider 'cause I don't belong
I don't fit in yet I've done nothing wrong
Perhaps you think I'm a stone that cannot feel
Maybe you even say that I'm not real

You think I'm quiet and have nothing to say
But know that you've never heard my voice until today
Yet before you judge the loner you think you see
Understand that maybe you don't really know me


And somehow now you're everybody's fool. ~Evanescence
You don't know what it's like to be like me. Welcome to my life. ~Simple Plan
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying. ~Hedley
Maybe we'll turn it around, 'cause it's not too late; it's never too late. ~Three Days Grace

Nothing's ever easy, and if it is, you're not trying hard enough.
The best way to get revenge on someone who has hurt you through the years is to smile at them as though you have never cried any tears.

Thank you guys so much It's not actually for a grade, but I still want to do well. I'm glad you like it.
