What I am

What I am,

Is not what you are,

Because unlike you, I never was human.

Never was able to really feel emotions, which you all adore,

Been called a demon for that reason, a monster which was deserted,

Emptiness, calm and drenched in the sorrow of never fitting in is what embellishes me, an ornament of true, cruel sadness, undetected.

And yes, I don't understand you, perhaps I don't even want to, knowing what humans are like, I accepted my fate of being alone,

I let my fingernails grow long and sharp to at least fit into the picture of a monster you have put me, because what else do I have left ?

A heart, perhaps which desires to take those under its wing whom suffered the same tragity, orphans with no place or rejected, abused.

And a body, carrying a thousand marks done by a knife, or these nails, in a cold desperate wishing to be normal at least for a day, to not be alone and deserted, with no one left to talk but a silly pen, a pocket watch which is about to stop ticking calmly, gently very soon.

An ember of light, triggers some emotions at rare occasions, which fade into nothingness as the day begins to face it's end, ah, phantoms

So, what I am,

Is not what you are,

Because I am...

A demon.

Living with the asperger syndrome is sure a pain, at least for me.
