I’m not so popular in our family
I’m the outcast, the rebel
If you have a problem you won’t come to me
I’m the black sheep of the family

Reliability, they say I’m a joke
But isn’t that what I’m supposed to be?
I’m only playing the part your writing for me
That’s not what I really want to be
A second chance is all I need
You’re trying to keep me down
Stop me smiling keep me sporting a frown

I’m not so popular in our family
I’m on the edge about to fall
I need a helping hand to catch me
But you would rather push me
I’d like to come back into the flock
But you actually want to forget I exist
If I wasn’t your son, daughter, mother, brother
Or any of the above
All I want to be is loved
But I’m the black sheep

Black sheep

I’m not so popular in our family
I’m the outcast, the rebel
If you have a problem you won’t come to me
I’m the black sheep of the family

Reliability, they say I’m a joke
But isn’t that what I’m supposed to be?
I’m only playing the part your writing for me
That’s not what I really want to be
A second chance is all I need
You’re trying to keep me down
Stop me smiling keep me sporting a frown

I’m not so popular in our family
I’m on the edge about to fall
I need a helping hand to catch me
But you would rather push me
I’d like to come back into the flock
But you actually want to forget I exist
If I wasn’t your son, daughter, mother, brother
Or any of the above
All I want to be is loved
But I’m the black sheep

This is highly emotional but written with much maturity. The rhyming is smooth and easy on the mind, well done.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
