Land of Misfits

Welcome to the land of misfits.
We are the ones
Who don’t fit in.
We are the ones 
Who were banished for our sins.
We are the ones
Who are lost.

Welcome to the land of problematic kids.

Who are always blamed.
We are the ones
Who are always wrong,
No matter what we submit.
We are the ones
Who are dimwits
Belong in a pit
A complete misfit.
Unless…

We aren’t the ones
Who are dimwits.
We aren’t the ones
Who are full of it
We aren’t the ones
Who belong in a pit
We aren’t the ones
Who are misfits.

But that can’t be
It’s all we are told.
After all, we are the misfits.
We deserve it.
Right?

    Or face the cold.

    Looking in the mirror,
    Nothing but disgust and dispair on her face.
    Lonely and friendless,
    I watched as the girl cried.
    I watched as she wished for a
