Outkast

Why do I always feel like an outkast?
Outsider, with no place to belong
Never knowing when and how to fit in
Cause my surroundings wont accept the real me
All these expectations, and up standings
When in all reality
I’m just a simple girl
Wanting to be loved and accepted unconditionally
Wanting to live a lil on the edge, break some rules
And just rebel against all that painted their own self-portrait
Of who and how they want me to be
I wanna be my own person
Live by my rules … right or wrong
Explore all my possibilities
While stepping into opportunity
Why cant people see the GREATNESS in me
But yet they see the faults, flaws and sadness
Of a girl that just wanted to be a part of something
Whether big or small
and in order for me to fit into this selfish cruel world
I would have to lose some parts of me
Sell my soul the devil
Step outside of this beautiful character God created
And become something that I would rather
Put out for the trash
I just wanna be me
Is that too much to ask?
Put aside your thoughts and let me paint
My own portrait of how I want me to be
