I'm too strange
Too wrong

I don't belong here
I don't think I belong anywhere

The people who are meant to bring me comfort
Terrify me

I can't
Keep living
Like this

Unwanted
Neglected
Ignored
Hated

My sister
My brother
I've given them my best
Nothing but my best
And yet they look at me like everyone else
They look at me like I'm disgusting
A freak
Wrong wrong wrong

There's only one person I haven't given up on
And he doesn't want me too
No one can want me
Not really

I'm too wrong to be wanted

I'm too wrong to change

I'm lonely
But I'd rather be alone in my loneliness

There is not a feeling worse than isolation

My one tether
My compass
My ground
My special one
She's stopped loving me
She's stopped wanting me
She says it's my fault
I've apologized but she hasn't

I don't know what hate is
But if I feel it towards someone
It's her

My mother disgusts me
My father terrifies me
My sister hurts me
My brother
Well

There's nothing worth staying for
Not here
(Except for him
My bleeding-winged bird
And even then
He doesn't want me
And even if he does
I can't throw away my future for him)

No one wants me?
Fine
I won't want them either

My family is full of horrible people convincing themselves they're good
Why the hell would I want their love?
