An Outsider

By: Alyx Delgado

My outside a shy, colorless human being

Soft spoken and gentle as can be

How I appear “perfect” and “flawless” as can be.

However my only flaw may be how I have another person

Wanting to be set free...



The Inside of me stirring and churning wild as can be

Looking and searching

Seeking a way out

A path out to be that wild girl spoken of, but never seen

To simply be set free into the jungle of the world

I’d have pals and buddies, even a set group of friends

How outrageously crazy that would be



O’ well that’s all locked up inside of me

Now back to perfect little ol’ me

Not a tear can be seen

Not a wrinkle on me



Yeah I’m sure that’s me
