A prisoner among strangers,
you yearn for compassion.
Looks of disdain and judgment from each direction;
the margin is your permanent refuge.

Black sheep, you have never understood their ways
black sheep, you are the blackest of them all
Black sheep, they want to bleach you until your blood runs white as well
Black sheep, do not conform to what they want,
don't let them hurt you.
Black sheep, why do you allow their incessant criticisms
affect the tenacity with which you stomp your hooves on the soil?

You were more than that.

Black sheep, your black is becoming grey.

Black sheep, do not forget who you are.

((But black sheep,
We love you,
We only want the best for you,
You are not okay as you are
There is something different,
Let us help you,
listen to us...

Black sheep, come home

Black sheep come home))
