Trapped in Difference

By Sean Archon

trapped what i am not

is what every one else knows

the gift i must keep hidden

the pain i go through

what would everyone think

how would they respond

if they knew would they still want me

would they like me want to be with me

would i have friends to see me through

would they take me for who i am

or would I be deserted alone despised

an outcast in the world trapped

my gift sets me apart

from the rest of the world

i am not like the ones who surround me

i am different but how i know not

i have hidden my gift for so long

that i dont know what it is anymore.

i never knew it so i do not know what it does

what it is what it makes me

what can i do with it i dont know

i didnt know i had it until recently

will people still consider me human

or am i a freak an abnormality

having a gift but having to hide it

from the rest of the world

it makes me jealous of the normal people

the ones with perfect lives perfect families perfect

they would make fun run away treat me less than human

but what if i am more special for a reason

i am trapped in my difference

cant tell anyone cant hide anymore

i am in a fix will anyone be my friend

would anybody take me for who i am

not what i am inside outside everywhere

i am trapped in Difference.

will you see me for who i am or what i am
