The one bird who did not, could not, <br /> Fit in <br />My mother and brothers laughed <br />At me <br />I feel like I do not belong in here <br />In this place <br /> I am a small black pea <br /> In a sea of white grains <br />No time or place <br />Cast Out <br />Ostracized <br />Isolated <br />Different <br />From my family <br />Until I learned <br />I am not an ugly duckling <br />Not a deformed bird <br />But a <br />Beautiful <br />Gorgeous <br />Stunning <br />Swan<br /><br />Nick Oldberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-the-ugly-duckling/
