Outcasts

Of like mind

We are all

. . . . outcasts

No one fits in everywhere at all times.

Someone will make us feel

Ostracized

Dismissed

Ejected.

Some may slip quietly away,

Leaving us to fend for ourselves.

We even get cast out from our parents.

The best we can do is

Find outcasts of like mind

Of similar circumstances,

With kindred tastes.

Once we have a group,

We are no longer lone outcasts

But a band of outcasts,

Ready to face the world of

Outcasts.
