Being in the shadows for too long,
strangers, longing to belong,
all different but deeply all the same,
misfits, lonely, out of the frame.
She wasn’t the best student back in school,
judged by the teachers, treated like a fool.
He was very quiet, didn’t want to break any rule,
he was mocked by the bullies as he wasn’t so cool
His skin was too dark for this part of the world,
charged and prejudged before he can claim a word,
he was told, here people are all equal before the law,
but on his birth ceritficate it was imprinted: outlaw
Expelled from the country in which she was given birth,
unwelcomed, on every corner of the earth,
the planet looks like such a huge place,
but for her there wasn’t enough space,
to call home
He was an introvert, he didn’t talk much,
he wasn’t into partying and such
he didn’t want to be in the center of attention,
he chose not to follow the social convention.
Fragile when the competition expected him to be strong,
doing mistakes, where he wasn’t allowed to be wrong,
emotional when everyone else was cruel,
depressed, fighting his inner duel
Considered a trouble most of her childhood,
a riot, she has never felt understood,
wild and crazy, she couldn’t be controlled,
she would defy whatever she was being told.
She never wanted to be a princess like the other girls,
dressed in black, she was wearing nails instead of pearls,
listening to metal, closed too much to herself,
didn’t feel really like a human, more like an elf.
He was not feminine enough to be a woman
not manly enough to be a “real” man
too strong for the one, too sensitive for the other,
trapped in between, never accepted from his father.
She was so happy, she fell in love with her at first sight,
but every close-minded prick yelled: no, this isn’t right,
Fuck them, what was their problem? why do they bother?
they were just two girls who loved each other.
Being in the shadows for too long,
strangers, longing to belong,
all different but deeply all the same,
misfits, together, we can break the frame.
