Time For The Black-Sheep To Rise

Time For The Black-Sheep To Rise

A Poem by LadyAnn68
"

Stand up and be yourself...you are worth just as much...

"

“Time For The Black-Sheep To Rise”

 

 

Know matter what you may now feel

Recovery is the only sound deal

So all that disgust you’ve saved

Time for that road to be repaved

Break through all those walls of guilt

A fortress through recovery you’ve built

And you are just like every other one

Who wants recovery downloaded and won

Although as a black-sheep you know you must

Never lie the only safe ground to trust

A Black-sheep will build his own hearth

On this brick stands up for his unique worth

You see the white-sheep dirty and messy

But your coat shinny, black, and sexy

No matter how many white-sheep storm

Your value and wool is just as warm

No need trying fitting in with a pout

You are special born to stand out

It doesn't matter what all the white-sheep say

There is always tomorrow a brand new day

Even though you are the Black-Sheep of the family

Recovered live your life just as happily

So all their looks of great surprise

It is time for the Black-sheep to stand up and rise


BLACK OR WHITE THE WOOL IS JUST A S WARM...SO RISE UP BLACK-SHEEP!

I like the tale and the ending. Even the Black-sheep will rise-up. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry my friend.
