Outsider

By Ashwin Karnam

A creature so strange, so unique Not quite like the others you seek A soul so foreign, so far from home Accustomed to being all alone Able to stand out but can't fit in

An outsider, an outcast among kin A life that's isolated, so distinct The outsider's existence, so distinct A life of seclusion, so far from the crowd No one to understand, no one allowed The world is too harsh, no one to trust out loud

So different, so strange, so unique The outsider, a creature so meek A life that's so different, so far from the rest The outsider, an existence so blessed
