I Am Not A Freak
I am not a freak
Just because I am different
From what you expected
Just because I don’t fit
Your pre-determined stereotypes
Just because I don’t hide
From all the hate you throw at me
I am not an experiment
You will not use me
For your personal gain
You will not stop me
From speaking my thoughts
You will not belittle me
With things you have no knowledge of
I am not a pet
Just because you know my dead name
Does not mean you own me
Just because i speak freely
Does not mean my own words hurt me
Just because you hide these things
Does not mean I ever will
