Freak of Nature

When you look at me, you don't see a girl
You see a gay, a queer, a freak of nature
A plague, disease, a threat to your happiness
Not normal, not natural, not anything at all
A failed experiment in the eyes of your God
Not living, not breathing, not something that feels
Not alive, not needing, not wanting you near
All you see is a 'thing', and it scares you to death
With your bright eyes turned cold, you turn and take leave

All I see is you, with your soft voice and smile
Your hands and your mouth, moving, dancing as one
Your hair glowing solar in glaring hot sunshine
Your eyes gazing through me, tearing down my walls
Is it so wrong, sweet dear, to see you as 'nice?'
Is it so bad, my dear, to see you as 'fun?'
Is it so scary dear, to see you as 'pretty?'
Is it unnatural dear, to find out I love you?

Your words are like ice rocks crashing down on me
Your eyes are like fire rearing up in disgust
Our friendship now ruined thanks to a few words
That I should never uttered, yet I thought you would know
And now I am watching you move with a boy
Lips and arms joined, you both moving as one
This freak of nature turns and walks away
She won't think of you or your words anymore

Somewhere in the world, underneath all the hate
Hiding beneath the lies, carefully shadowed in warmth
There's a girl just like me, whom one day I will love
She will see me as me and not drown me in fear
As we all dream of love, free of pain and of hurt
We are waiting for daylight, and acceptance therein
I shall not think of you, you who made me a 'freak'
I will move onto dreaming, until it comes true.
