the outsider

[nigel lawry]

The outsider

Always looking inwards

Seeking some good

Feeling misunderstood

Nothing feels like it should

Hanging around on the wrong side of town

Never going up always going down

Waiting for my turn to come around

Never making any sound

Just an outsider in your eyes

I have heard too many lies

Cried so many tears my eyes are dry

As I lift my head to the sky

An out cast every day

Waiting for fortune to come this way

Guess we have to pay for our sins

On the outside looking in

Not too sure about this one Nigel! I think it reads more like a rap than a poem...?

Nige - sorry, but this just reads as a rhymefest. A very loose theme, which is not developed and just seems like random observation.

I LOVE loads of your stuff - but not this.

good job it's an old one
