I am known as the outsider
I shall not conform
Not stereotyped as a motorcycle rider
But I'm no prep in a dorm
Is my music too loud?
Do my clothes scare you?
But I'm not part of the crowd
So what do you think you can do?
I am individual
I have a mind of my own
My thoughts do not comply to the common rule
And you can't control me like a king on a throne
Not everyone fits in
And is this a crime?
No!
Stand up for yourself!
I am known as the outsider
I shall never conform
Don't stereotype me
Because I shall never be part of the norm!

Amazing!
I love this! So true... I'm often the outsider.. By looking at me you probably wouldn't think so... But I do... Kinda weird... I've also has the problem of being lumped into one group, and my Individuality taken away because no one cared too look, even when I stood up for who I was...Maybe that's why I turned out so "different"... anyways.. GREAT job. I really really like this

Wow this is a great poem. You could make this one into a song. You know what would be even cooler? If you sent these in as lyrics to your favorite singer, and they sang them as a song, written by you. That would be great and this poem is amazing, so I believe that if that was something that you were interested in, then you could make it happen. There are only a few things you might have to change a little, otherwise, you could have a poem and a song. That is wonderful.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It is much appreicated. I really liked the flow and the fact that you want to be so original. There is nothing better than being original.
Have a great day.
God Bless.
Good luck.
