Black-Sheep Poem by Daniel Ukwe

Black sheep of the family,
So different from the rest,
An outsider looking in,
With sadness in your chest.

You don't quite fit the mold,
Or meet their expectations,
You struggle to belong,
Amidst their celebrations.

They criticize and judge,
But you hold your head up high,
For you know that being different,
Is not something to deny.

Embrace your unique self,
For you are one of a kind,
And though you may feel alone,
Your individuality will shine.

Black sheep of the family,
You may not be their clone,
But you have your own gifts to give,
And a path that's all your own.
