I Am An Outsider

I am an outsider,
I fear the face of others,
I envy those who can walk up to another with grace,
I don't talk, but I listen,
I listen to every word you say.

I have hopes, dreams and aspirations,
Just like you, maybe you don't know them,
Because I don't open up to you.

I am an outsider,
I don't always fit in,
But that's ok,
Because sometimes you have to lose yourself,
To find yourself again.
