Beautiful Creature


I'm the one everyone fears The one who never belongs I eat crows for breakfast Death's new messenger What I touch becomes ash What I see is death But everyone looks and says I'm beautiful Inside my heart, I'm ugly My black hair My mixed skin I'm wounded Will I escape this body Will I no longer be the center of attention The vines run all around me My eyes turn white I cannot leave within my skin I'm not human I'm not fit for your world All I ever will be A beautiful creature
