Freak

Should I be reminded of being a freak
I shall fall onto my knees
And cry before I break
But try before I wake

From this sleep so blinding black
I will look for what I lack

A sense of beauty on my face
The only sight of a disgrace

They see me as a freak
I must have had a leak

I cry and wail all night
Trying not to fight

The feeling of my face in the mirror above my head
It only reflects my weaknesses and nothing comforting
I wonder to myself,
“What do they think of me?”
