I am not the black sheep, so why don’t I belong? My wool stands out amongst the heard, a speck of dirt on a pristine marble dress. I am not flicked away, but forced into another’s coat To match the sea of white. I am a stranger in my own body, A mess of shredded wool and yearning Yearning for my home
“Return to home!” My soul does cry, I want to listen so. But my heart has sheep that it holds dear, refusing to let go.
