The one bird who did not, could not,
Fit in
My mother and brothers laughed
At me
I feel like I do not belong in here
In this place
I am a small black pea
In a sea of white grains
No time or place
Cast Out
Ostracized
Isolated
Different
From my family
Until I learned
I am not an ugly duckling
Not a deformed bird
But a
Beautiful
Gorgeous
Stunning
Swan
