The odd one
November 18, 2013
A dark colored sheep, in the eyes of the shepherd
Looked down for thinking different, a denier amongst believers
Alone, an outcast from the crowd
Not a word to say, or a care to pay
Not looking happy, so he must glum
Motionless and expressionless, the living dead
Assuming there’s something wrong is a matter of the prejudgment
To push this Martian over the edge, that is too pressured and too stressed
But in his mind, where the hopeful dreams lie
There is a child that still lives inside with imagination.
