Black Sheep of the Family
I find myself in the back
You all fixing me with those fake smiles
I see right through these games
The niceties and the care are far too pushed
One can tell they aren’t genuine
Don’t you think that hurts?
For far too long I was your puppet
Doing anything at your beck and call
I then became a porcelain doll
Letting you use me to make yourself better
And with all that I was accepted
I was one with the whole family
But when I couldn’t take it any longer
And left to make things better
I knew very well what I became
Now I’m the black sheep
You’re still my family
Don’t you see?
I didn’t do this out of hate
What I did was out of love
Though once you’re the sheep
You’re always the sheep
You know what?
I don’t really care
Play your games
Act out your charade
I give up on being a fake
This is me
My life
So deal.
