Gossiping behind my back
too afraid to say it to my face
Word gets around fast
and I know everything you say about me
I was just a little different
Quiet, a loner
No one took the time to know me
If they did, they'd see
that I was just agnostic
But they liked to insist
"She's a witch!
She casts spells and practices magic"
as if I had the time
or intent to harm them
And besides,
the Wiccan Rede says,
"Harming none, do as thou wilt"
Middle school gossip
from bullies and "cool kids"
that I never fit in with
Never stopped me from living my life
or being who I really am
I've moved on
but they're still stuck there
in that small town
with their narrow-minded ways
for the remainder of their days
I'm still on the outside and I'm okay
