I dare to be different     you call me a freak
I wanna be heard    but you don't let me speak
I'm down     and you wonder why!?
not a day passes        that doesn't make me cry,
I gaze in the mirror    and looking at me
isn't the same person   i used to see.
Looks haven't changed   but deep in the eyes
a world is seen    veiled in lies
I see the reflection of  a heartbroken child,
his sanity slipping   his feelings defiled.
Emotionally raped  by the people he needed,
backs turned on him   raped and then cheated.
Shattered look   a tear streaked cheek,
Finally     broken     unable to speak.

"Aerials,   in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life."
- System of a Down

thanks for the comments, like i've said before, it makes it easier to post when people reply,  However, i must request that you don't feel sorry for me... what i go through is my path in life that i'm to face and hardship is just part of that, but we all have our writing to escape and i'm sure we're all thankful for that... anyway i'm rambling, thanks again for the comments

aw it sounds like you need a hug! great write, very powerful, even though you broke my heart a little.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments, you're all too kind

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
