Black Sheep
The Family that you were Born into does not define your destiny.
The world sees the same things that you think you are...
But how do you apply yourself to the Stereotypes of the Greatest Things about you, when you were never told these things?
Have you ever watched a Movie and seen parts of your life, inside the picture?
How do you grab back your hope and clasp your creativity?
These things aren't easy as it seems.
I cried for myself and I wondered who cried with me...
I expressed in words my profound Empathy, but what are words to a deaf ear?
I told myself I wouldn't feel guilty for this Good thing that is happening to me...
Although it may feel kinda anomalous, I am happy for myself because it has been a Fright to stand alone inside a Battle you are not sure you can Survive❗
You give the love that you want to receive, but It doesn't usually come back to me.
I haven't let these things hinder me although I've had to pick up my emotions more than one time from the floor, I walk harder with my Limp!
If it is My Destiny to Succeed, then that's where I See Myself.
Dancing along the lines of my life with Me, Myself, and God❗

So incredibly heartfelt and relatable! Love this one, Lonzo :)
'I cried for myself and I wondered who cried with me'.... Sheeessssh! Resonating!
Relatable! I love this expressive form. Well done, it's great work and an entertaining read.
This is the bomb! Love it!
🙌🙌I like the sentiments here in your free verse Lonzo. Also quite relatable for many! 👍✨☺️
Excellent work my friend 🥰
I'm. A Proud black sheep🙇
I sooooo relate to this. I jokingly call myself the Black sheep on one side of the family and the white sheep on the other. It's a play, obviously on my biracial heritage and my varying degrees of non-acceptance on each side. Well done, beautiful work indeed.
Dear Handsome ~ I've always been the 'Black Sheep' of my entire family - I never saw any color ~ - You are a Gift to us - You shall, indeed, 'Succeed' - Jay
I love this, Lonzo. I always always felt like I am the "black sheep" of my family because my parents and brothers are all very extroverted. I'm way more introverted and always feel quite disconnected. It's been a struggle my whole life. I really appreciate these inspiring words words those whole feel a bit on the outside. 🥲 Some really great lines in this!
than a minute ago I love the energy of this piece! That "I walk harder with my limp" phrase was Flyy! Awesome work lil bro!
Great piece.
Enjoyed this truth
You are so right, I totally can relate to the "Black Sheep". I know what its like to give the love we long for and truly deserve. I really enjoyed reading your poem. Touched my heart in more ways than you can imagine, Thank you xoxo Love Cathy
This is wonderful. Well done.
You give the love you want to receive but it usually doesn't come back to me. That is the sad bitter truth. Powerful poem!
This is beautifully vulnerable and relatable! Keep using your gifts for good, and enjoy the blessings that come your way!
Very well written!
👏👏👏🍻💖🙏 💯 That's how I felt after reading that. Great Job, Lonzo.
To succeed as the black sheep is the sweetest revenge. To fail as the golden boy/girl is just sad.
