why do you look at me like i'm a freak?
like i'm some sort of circus performer putting on a show?
i'm just trying to live like everyone else.
so why is it fair to judge me?
this is already difficult without you pointing and laughing like a plausible clown
it's a cruel world we live in.
unfair balance
we poke at each other, we laugh at each other, we hate each other
people are poison.
but why? is there some unwritten rule?
or am i just putting on a performance for billions of people?
people who want to watch me fail,
and cheer as i do so.
people, who feed off the pain,
people, who made me feel worthless.
