How the World Sees Me (4.24.02)
I am the abnormal in this world,
I say spook, is what I am
others say Goth is more like it.
Many souls see the shell,
but few see the truth
that lies within.
I have the kindness of a saint
and the hatred of all,
but I am me.
I am who I am
by those who treasure this soul,
not by those who disregard it.
I have seen the darkness
that this world creates; I choose
neither darkness nor the path of light.
The things I do make me;
my actions, thoughts, and feelings,
all make me, no other but myself.
