If birds of a feather flock together,
then what kind of bird am I?
I need no others to light my way,
I choose my own path as I fly.
There are no others who understand,
These feelings that I feel,
My need to stray away from the crowd
and stand on my own here, still.
If birds of a feather flock together,
I want no part of that life.
No feather's of mine resemble anothers,
I do not feel their strife.
To these alike creatures, leave me alone
and please, just let me be.
don't try to change me, this is who I am
and I won't change for you, cause I'm me.

I need no others to light my way,
I choose my own path

Pitiful pariah unsocial
Blue friend turns ice
Joy friend turns silent
Strong friend turns indifferent
Earth has stopped
No man, nor woman can be an island
Yet the tide swirls around me
As if I am that island
Punishment has come
For what?
I
