Inhuman

You look down on me with sympathetic eyes

You think I'm half a person but you don't realize

I'm a person too, God made me this way

I deserve happiness too, nothing taken away

Something is wrong with that boy because he chose me

It makes you physically ill to see

He loves the mutant girl? What's wrong with him?

Can you explain to me the difference between me and them?

I have ten toes and fingers, two arms legs and eyes

I have 2 ears, a nows and a mouth, and your ignorance makes me cry

I almost have to hate myself to feel that I fit in

I feel greasy and slimy, like something inhuman

Oversighted because I'm different, my brain works differently

You don't think I care, becasue monsters don't have feelings

Although it isn't your fault it's just how you were taught

That people like me are evil and must be on sight shot

I'm crazy, I'm inhuman, I'm an unholy blight

But still I feel that I must fight

I fight for him, for our right to be one

I fight for all this ignorance to be all done
