Alone

Alone…alone
Sitting alone in my mind
The rush of self pity,
Falls over me in an embrace.
Nobody wants me,
Nobody cares
They’re all afraid
Afraid of what is different.
So what if I’m not fully human
So what if I recharge myself each night
So what if I was an experiment
Can’t you look past those things?
Long enough to know who I was created to be?
I am a kind young man
I have a kind heart and a smart mind
I am bald and pretty slow,
But you can look past that to what I am as a whole
Right?
Alone…alone
Sitting alone in my mind
The rush of self pity,
Falls over me in an embrace.
Nobody wants me,
Nobody cares
They’re all afraid
Afraid of what is different.
So what if I’m not fully human
So what if I have no real parents
So what if I’m poor with ragged clothing
Look at everyone around you
I have what they have and more
I may not have skin, but why would I need it?
I may not have hair, but look at your homeroom teacher
I may have artificial feelings, but what’s the difference?
I beg you; please look past my outside and personal life
Begin seeing me as a whole, as another human being.
I’m close enough to one, am I not?
The world I live in now is a scary one
Filled with hatred and labeling.
Why do we label?
I’ll bet that if I was not labeled as a machine,
You might like me better
Am I right?
I hope so
Alone…alone
Sitting alone in my mind
The rush of self pity,
Falls over me in an embrace.
Nobody wants me,
Nobody cares
They’re all afraid
Afraid of what is different.
So what if I’m silver
So what if I have no heart
So what if I’m smarter than you
We were all created equal
That was God’s intentions, right?
Remember separate but equal is constitutional?
That was overruled by a guy named brown
They found separate but equal isn’t constitutional
If this was how America was run now,
I would move somewhere else
And refuse to stay any longer.
Alone…alone
Sitting alone in my mind
The rush of self pity,
Falls over me in an embrace.
Nobody wants me,
Nobody cares
They’re all afraid
Afraid of what is different.
Don’t be afraid
I’m not afraid
I’ll help you through this
But only if you’ll give me a chance
Be my friend?
I wish you would
I wish you could understand the pain I face
Each and every morning I wake up
And know that I am different
And that no one will accept me
Some people don’t get accepted until they’re sitting
Inside of a church listening to a family member
Reach a heart wrenching eulogy about the person
Is that to come of me?
Am I doomed to not be accepted by you until I die?
They say you’ll never know how much you miss
Something until it’s gone
Is it possible to realize that before it’s gone?
Alone…alone
Sitting alone in my mind
The rush of self pity,
Falls over me in an embrace.
Nobody wants me,
Nobody cares
They’re all afraid
Afraid of what is different.
Don’t be afraid
I am here to help, not hurt you.
I have seen others pick on you as they have to me
I never did anything to you
Why do you shun me away?
Away from where I feel the safest
Away from the world around me?
Away from what I need most; love
Love is an essential item to human beings
And I need it as well
You can’t just shove me into a corner and
Expect me to stay happy and healthy.
Alone…alone
Sitting alone in my mind
The rush of self pity,
Falls over me in an embrace.
