Those like me
Outcasts
Rejects
Labelled...stupid
Locked up behind bars
Diry on pavements,streetcorners,alleys dark

Avoid eye contact,
The eyes, looking beyond reality
A story of what once was
A story of what could've been
The now...shame...
The nails,dirty...
Trying to dig own grave

Society set the rules
Discriminates
Age old
Burn the witches,wizards
Genes echo into future
Ignorance wount make me dissapear
I am who i am
I am what i am

Egon Shiele, Ludwig von Beethoven, John Nash were you one of us?

Were are those like me?
Am I alone?

Wil love alwayz evade...?
The beauty of what goes on inside goes beyond.
