This Is Who I Am

You will never fit in! is my everyday alarm . My emotions so hackneyed to that venom That like water off a duck's back has no effect. Hide away they tell me, because we cannot bare to look at you The dark has become my companion, the citadel of refuge to whom I can always flee so that I'm invisible to many. Wherever I am, I try so much to be the ghost, Unnoticed and invisible. Because if I am noticed I know that like a thousand arrows the words will stab me to death Before I realise it. They say I love the mirror but that is not the case I am trying to identify, to spot, To analyze what you say is wrong with me. What you tease me of! But sadly I cannot seem to find it I shall not cease to look in the mirror Maybe one day I shall see it too But for now I AM BEAUTIFUL THE WAY I AM.
