Outcast
Bryan Kiser Jr 1989 (Benton Harbor,Michigan)
I applied but denied
The standards are beyond my souls comfort
I try to keep up, still there's awkward moments
Separated at birth, society and I never loved
Prowling wild through the wilderness created before me
More lonewolves like me, I tend to seek
Smiles in front, laughter in the the back of minds
Eyes wonder to see my next move
Fitting in is just a dream
Most people around follow the crowd
Me, I stand alone enjoying the company of self
'He's wrong and crazy' they say
Many painted a picture of me with horns
Mother nature sees me as child filled with purpose
Nature understands my deepest emotions
A outkast blaze its own trail
Showing others its okay to be different
Being different is unique
Unique can touch the lives of many
