You are not what they call an “Outcast”

You are only unique; different

That isn’t horrible-

Nor something to hide or to be ashamed of,

But to be rejoiced over.

Don’t hide your face with a paper bag and shun the world.

Don’t turn into a copy of someone else,

And do not be a shadow.

You are loved

You are cared

And you are special.

So be yourself.

For I am what everyone calls a “outcast” too.

And I found happiness in life by simply being myself.

Stay you.

Stay special.

Be happy.

And don’t ever change to fit in.

Because you do.

Along with the other outcasts of the world

Who will someday become the ones-

To change it.
