for a black sheep
my name is sure
often
on the lips of those
who yell the
loudest that they
are the white sheep

and who act
like they are so
very comfortable in
clothe's besides their
own

while i wear the
same stains they
scream they don't have
with much more than
just
an ounce
of
pride

with much more like
the full price
of
my head held high
as if
the stains themselves
are the
very words
that they have caused
me
to bear
