Fairies

by irisdelaney

You can't love here the big man chokes You can't You can't do that, don't do that Fags The big man chokes He says we're not human You and me Funny, I never felt like an alien A creature that doesn't belong I have the same parts as any other person You know Maybe they're right We're fairies Magic creatures, creatures who don't belong I guess the fairies didn't want us either Where are we supposed to go? Not here Not here Not here They all choke You can't Not here

The Frozen Arsonist
It's great that you put so much emotion into this. You can really feel the sense of being ostrasized. I'm sorry the world does this.
