Outstanding

Outstanding


I was the girl left out

Skirting the edges 

Of whispered conversations

Overhearing my name

Followed by laughter

I didn't fit in

With the in crowd

But here's the thing 

I didn't care

Because I had my own way

To stand out

  1. Growing up is hard to do ... no matter how little or how much we stand out. I like this.
