Odd One Out
I don’t want to stick out like a weed in a field of wildflowers
But somehow that’s all I end up doing
I’m always the black sheep
The odd one out
I never chose to be
And I never wanted to be
But somehow
Someway I’m always the odd one out
The one who walks in the grass while others walk in the sidewalk
The one who never gets the memo
The one who never gets asked to hangout
The 3rd one in the group
The odd one out
Everyday I wake up
I always feel out of place
I feel like I’m going out of my mind
Literally
Even in my own head I don’t fit in
I don’t make sense
Anywhere I go
I’m the odd one out
Until I realized I was never in the right places
You know the saying a dollar is never a dollar everywhere
That’s what I realized
I may just be another dollar somewhere
But someplace else I might mean the world to someone
But until then
I’ll just be the weed sticking out a field of wildflowers
