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!
