The Freaks and the Beautiful - poetry

THE FREAKS AND THE BEAUTIFUL

I feel so obvious right now
and not in a good way
I feel I'm in the way and
too hard to miss.

Only standing out
because I am so boring and plain
the odd one out
amongst the freaks and the beautiful.

I hate feeling like I'm competing
Like I'm competing and losing
falling behind, unable to keep up
with the freaks and the beautiful.

I cannot compare
and have no right to stand
shoulder to shoulder
with the freaks and the beautiful.

I don't want to drag you down
hold you back, taint your soul
with boredom and routine
you should be having fun
with the freaks and the beautiful
