I’m not like everyone else, born different without a home,
No one like me, no one can see, I’m all alone.

I hide what I am and who I came to be,
If you knew the truth you too would hate me.

You have no idea what lies inside me,
If you did, friends no more would you be.

I walk among you an ugly wolf in beautiful sheep’s clothing,
I look deep into the mirror but I can not stop this painful self loathing.

I am a monstrosity, a freak amongst the pure,
You believe I am diseased, you need to find the cure.

Pain, anger and agony, why must this always be?
No longer can I contain the animal within me.

Why must this life torment me so?
Will true happiness ever find me? I don’t know.

I seek and I search wanting to destroy,
But that which I hate lies within this boy.

I cry out unsure of the truth of my own name,
The source of my strength and weakness are one and the same.

How can I win this war, conquer this enemy?
Perhaps the reality is…….it’s me versus me.
