I feel as though
I've always been
Somebody outside
Looking in.

When people make fun
And call me names
I turn my back
But not from shame.

I turn my back
so they won't see
How much the name calling
Really hurts me.

And when they stop
I'm so happy
And that's the way
It's supposed to be.

I feel as though
I've sometimes been
Somebody outside
Looking in.
