Rejected

Once a single game of chance
our fates are set in stone
turned back at the gates of
Heaven
Down to Hell we go

Cast down by our peers
for differences we can't control
singled out for torment
pawns in their foolish games

They set us aside
Shoved us lower
because we are artists and outcasts
because we know too much

The agony of knowledge and  torment
Art and language
Beauty that no one else can see

We are set aside
set aside to come back to
and hurt out of boredom

We are the artists and the outcasts
the Goths and the Emos
the Nerds and the Freaks

Set aside
Sent down to Hell
Rejected
