Outsider

I'm silent

in the rolling wake

of lucky and adored

ugly

a blur on the side

so easily ignored



speechless

in my screaming way

they all laugh and smile

spotlights

give the loved a stage

but only burn the shy



I will always be the outsider

will I always walk the road alone?



disguised

so the crowd can't see

my strategies and plans

the last

of the shopworn secrets

no one understands



I will always be the outsider

will I always walk the road alone?

will I always find it hard to

make this world of lies

my own



I'd give it all

all to find my way

inside you

I can't fake myself round

to fit the hole

that hides in you

looking at me

I know just what you'd say

if you cared



I will always be the outsider

will I always walk the road alone?

will I always find it hard to

so hard to

make this

world of lies

my own
