they were once misfits


they were once misfits
that stood out against
a sea of suburban faces

they were working class folks
no parents with college degrees
or pretty white houses with 
lush green backyards

when teen years arrived
they tried to fit in those boxes
but only one succeeded
leaving the other behind 

but she is still a misfit
walking to her own drum beat
not caring what others think
