Black Sheep

What a person feels like when they are alone and the one group that should have his/her back turns on them

Billy had to leave his family behind.

For too long their rules were meant to maintain order

Yet their rules only caused chaos in Billy’s life.

His family punished him for loving someone they hated

They punished Billy for not believing in what the family subscribed too.

Billy tried his best to live and love himself while living with his family

He did not want his family to break him down

Yet time and time again the feeling of insignificance emanated

from his family

The feeling weighed down like a pregnant elephant.

He wondered what should be the next course of action?

He tried to pretend all was right in the world.

Then reality like an abusive mate decided to beat Billy down physically and mentally

He was close to suicide.......
