Freak Show

Tall, short
Fat, thin
Clever, stupid
Gay, straight
Black, white

Different

They're all different
And that's what scares you.
You don't recognise yourself
In any of them,
So you call them names
Torment them for being who they are.
I wonder how many of those words
They would throw back at you.

Because what makes them different
Makes you different too
And really, I guess, that means,

We're all the same.
