I do not want to look like them I will not give up my body again to have my bones show I am a person A human Not a child Not a skeleton… I do not want to look like them I will not deprive myself of energy that is already being stolen I am a being A consciousness Not a construct Not a slave I do not want to look like them I refuse to give up the joy and kindness that rests within my aura I am a soul An entity Not a stone Not a void I do not want to look like them I will hold my humanity tight and never release it from my grasp I am personality A vibe Not a robot Not another cog I do not want to look like them I do not want to be them I do not want to associate with them

i DO NOT want to look like them
9:12PM the questionable truth will always hunt you down fill my lungs in pressured parts note the love oh stupid parts ponder the affection creeping up on me foolish lungs they fail me the touch to fear too much my dear my scream will be heard drowned in silence we will be feared not knowing the tear i laugh and laugh wishing in your parts we'll delve in the stars my lover, my wonder

Wonder 1:58am
once upon a time i thought that if i scratched away at my skin hard enough i could peel the layers far enough back to reveal someone else inside someone who wouldn't be judged someone who was some semblance of normal it didn't work because there is no normal in me there is only pain and confusion and fear now all that's left of those happier times are the scars that litter my body like a trashcan tipped in the wind

Peel
All I crave is a human's touch Is that asking to much I don't mean *** I'm not trying to vex A touch on the hand In passing you don't have to stand A small little hug My shoulders a rub In touch in passing Nothing that's lasting I just won't to feel normal As I rock in the corner

A Simple Touch Can Mean so Much
Now I'm actually believing, What I've always tried to prove wrong; Because it's not right. Although now I'm not that sure. This is how I am, And not how I want to be. You'll read this and say change it. But it's not something I can edit. I can't think of what to do. I've lost my hope and lost my faith. I just wanted to be more normal! God, can't you give me a break! I don't want to be the same as others, But I just don't want to be different this way. I'm not going to spell it out for you. It's not something I want to explain. You shouldn't be able to get it. And if you don't then I am glad, But I really feel like I'm mad. No wonder I'm a reject, But they didn't even know what this is about. If anyone did then, I would truly have no chance. I wish this was something I could change. I wish when I said "I am normal!" I wouldn't find out any different. A couple of feet taller, Yet seeming more unfortunate.

More Normal
They think I am normal if they even think of me at all. But oh, if only they know my mind is black and frying grey and booming white and blinding brown and dying purple and bruising blue and flashing green and living yellow and shining orange and glowing red and bleeding pink and kissing chaotic amazing too much for me to handle
