The Edge of the Playground

The edge of the playground

Is where I did stay

Excluded from fun

With no one to play

Estranged for being different

I was always left out

Everybody made judgment

And insults they did shout

And being excluded

 It hurt oh so much

I tried my hardest

Yet they didn’t give a fuck

My desire for acceptance

Was my only whim

So I changed my semblance

Just to fit in

Yet those in the clique

Were blissfully unaware

I was crying beneath

The façade I did wear

I thought I had vanquished

My demons years past

Yet I still feel the pain

That makes me lash

Lash out at people

Who are closest to me

Who bear the brunt

Of this tragedy
