Ok, so I wrote this a week ago when I was on the bus to go to this Christian camp. I was really lonely and left out. Because the people that went to this camp had been lifelong friends and I was just a 'newbie' so I didn't really have that much confidence in myself. So I wrote this to help me get my feelings out. I know that sounded wishy-washy but whatever. Tell me what you think and enjoy!
The Outsider
An outsider on the edge
Being constantly pushed off the ledge
When will she ever belong?
Why is there always a debate
Between who should stay and who should go?
What do they have that she doesn't?
Can't you see behind the mask
See what's holding her back
She's just like you
Always a popularity contest
Who's cool and who sucks
Seems like she'll never get a choice
Voted up by friends and enemies
They use their status to put down the outcast
She's never ever good enough
These people have been friends forever
They know the ropes and secrets
While she's a new face in the crowd
Always waiting for the attack
Because she can't trust anyone behind her back
Forever the outsider

Ok, so I know it's shorter than some of my more famous poems, but it still gets to the heart of the matter. Make my day and review!
