Because I'm Not You
[(I was 15 at the time I wrote this.)]
Because I'm not like you,
you fear me,
you hate me,
you torture me.
I refuse to be like you.
I fear you,
I hate you,
I run from you.
You think you are human,
therefore I'm not.
You torment me
because I am not you -
I fear you
because you hate me -
I hate you
because you fear me.
You fear me
because I hate you -
You hate me
because I am not you.
I am not you!
