The outcast
The person that no one notices.
The one that doesn't look like everyone else,
stands alone in a crowed.
The one that has her own mind, with no exception,
big crowed, small crowed, she stays the same, the one and only outcast.
The one who sits alone at the lunch table,
getting a bulk of the stares and whispers,
and never the good ones always the cruel and judgmental ones.
The one who stands alone in a crowed,
wondering what is wrong with her,
is she not pretty enough, smart enough, or even nice enough?
She knows in her mind that she is the outcast,
the one that will never be like anyone else,
the one that stands alone.
This girl, this outcast is me.
I'll never be just like everyone else;
there will always be something about me that doesn't fit in with everyone else.

Welcome to allpoetry
Good expression. One spelling error though the correct spelling is crowd. If you want to use past tense then it would be crowded. Anywho. This I am sure speaks to how many teenage girls and even boys feel at times. They are never 'normal' but then again what is normal, they say just like everyone else, but everyone else is different so there is no normal. You continue being the outcast, set yourself apart and be the best you can be for yourself. Don't let anyone bring you down or make you feel on the outside looking in.
I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless

You are not alone!
The only way to live is to be yourself no matter what anyone says unless it's for your own good by the ones who love you, rest of the world can take a hike & they will if you show them the route... it's a very sad poem but speaks the volume about you - a strong courageous girl who wouldn't bow down to others, just to fit in showing your intelligence by being just you... I'm sure very proud of you hun and a very warm welcome to AP... good luck in the contest... take care Minoo
