Unwanted Horrors

Through school, I roam,

Just like most others.

To learn and grow,

Finding things to discover.

But one thing keeps me,

From attaining that goal.

I'm a ghost afterall,

Scaring everyone home.

I want to stay,

Be like other students.

They hate me and fear me,

I say I'm still human.

They say I'll possess them,

Say I'll take all their lives.

Say a person comes near me,

That person just dies.

Call me a monster,

If that's what you will.

Be afraid and disgusted,

At the horrors I instill.

Though it's not all bad,

There's still someone who wants me.

I've got just one friend,

His name's James, he's a zombie.

He's accepted his fate,

staying away from the others.

I refuse to give up,

Maybe go undercover.

They hate me after all,

Because I died a time ago.

I will make friends at school.

Even if they don't know.
