People do not speak to me
They speak at me
My presence is not wanted
Their hatred is deadly
I have no friends
This life I lead
Is dangerous and lonely
Alive, yet dead
Strong, yet frail
Courageous, yet terrified
Wildly demented, yet perfectly sane
A popular outcast
Believed to be
An inferior being
I live on
In fear
Of you
Of them
Of me
This fear is constantly eating away
AT MY H E A R T
