Different is synonymous with undesirable
An egg hatched by the wrong bird
The story of an ugly duckling
Ugly because he is difference

Environment defines what is attractive
A monkey in a gorillas cage will seem weak
Even a lion amongst deer will be rejected
A diamond amongst plastic is an outcast

No matter how beautiful we are if we are in the wrong place we are ugly
To be where you do not belong is to always miss a home never known
A longing to be free from the bonds that keep us down

To leave, to run away into the darkness in hopes of a better future
To smart or to scared to give up what we have for an uncertainty
We struggle to grasp at straws when we seek to conquer all

A ugly mess today
A beautiful arrangement unseen
But tomorrow when none are left to mock
We stand seen immaculate, pristine in the light of freedom

Everyday a new chapter
With every chapter we are given the chance to end the book
Or we can write a story worth reading
