Albinism

Albinism kids are beautiful. They lack melanin which gives them default. But I don't see a default. All I see is beautiful blonde hair that's so striking it is almost as compatible as the sun. I see eyes that gives a sense of mistrust and nervousness. Is this person wondering what's wrong with me? Is it the hair that gave this away perhaps it's my pale skin or did my red eyes frighten you till you was shaking and dead? DEAD! Funny word. Isn't it? Did you know I stare continually at the mirror. Staring and hoping for better days!! I need to pray! Maybe today I'll wake up and not see a frown on my face. Is today the day I get told ITS THE DAY! Oh no I shall say! I'm led astray. But I still stare and hope for better days. Tomorrow it will change. Tomorrow it will be a better day! So I patiently wait for this faithful day, it's not far I say so just go through the day. Did I tell you? I must of forgot! You see sometimes my head is so full.....its soo full.....full from the tears that fill the river but leave me with a drought! Full from the thoughts of everyday. Don't you see it's me that's living it and your....your...making it worse. Have you realised or are you naive? Innocence? They say it seems. Maybe we shall see. I wasn't lying! Was I? Because again I was led a stray. No change. Did you see me tan bathing waiting for the sun to get hotter maybe you seen me wearing sun glasses during the winter. How odd you say!!
