Outcast, Is My Name

I'm so frustrated, at this moment in time

So many things I cannot define

While I don't DESERVE things here or there

All I ask is for a bone, if you care

 

Work, duty, love and chores

Closed, seem all the doors

Friends, family, love and life

All wounded by serrated knife

 

When does it get to be my turn?

Just some love, my heart does yearn

Too much to ask for a battered soul?

Disappointments are taking their toll

 

All that I have, I've earned on my own

Double edged, reaped what I've sown

Expected too much, received no return

Of my needs and desires, of no concern

 

I'm a little lost and can't find my way

Bewildered, can't think of what to say

I just need a little help, a loving embrace

Sick of the reflection, the tired, defeated face.
