It’s not my fault that I am considered to be, a black sheep

Stand me beside any dirty white sheep and we may appear to be the same

It won’t change my personality, or give me license to be grey

It’s not the white blood cells, within my veins, that make me tame

It’s not my fault, if you see in me, some reason to be ashamed

My life, is simply not about, or based on, how you feel...

 

It’s not my fault, that you may feel, or you are, so insecure

though I do see your dilemma, whenever that feeling is fed

It will eat you, from within the darkness found, within your troubled mind

If you let it, if you really think about it, such thoughts will rule your head

It’s not my fault, if you choose to deny, or shun love, or the joy, you couldn’t find

Life is simply not, all about you and how you feel...

 

Oh Denial - If you could see life, as only black sheep can

Then you would genuinely know, exactly what it takes, to be real!

Interesting. I am the black sheep of my family so I had to read it! I feel these days that it is fine to be a bit different from the rest. We can all buy same at the supermarket. If I am happy then people generally relate to me in a happy way.      Elsie

Thank you for your positive comment Elsie... you are absolutely right.  I love being a black sheep, it is so much more fun being able to watch white sheep struggle with the rigors of mud splatter etc.  :)
