Outsider Poem by bobby kramer jr.

What goes on inside of a family
does anyone seem to know
is it the closeness that they have
or the love that they choose to show.
I wish I had this understanding
of what it takes to be
a member of my family
I'm looking but cannot see.
I feel like this outsider
who's always looking in
why do things have to be this way
does this feeling ever end.
I'm always in the spotlight
and I have no reason why
I can't seem to shake it
no matter how hard I seem to try.
they don't see what they do to me
and it hurts me deep inside
around them I can't show it
these emotions I must hide.
I never asked for any of this
but these cards I have been dealt
my eyes are so tired from crying
and I have mo more strength to shout.
I guess there's nothing else to do
but to turn and walk away
there is nothing here for me
so, there is no reason for me to stay.
these scars will always be with me
no matter what I choose to do
if you can relate to these feelings
remember, I know what your going through.
