I'm a Monster

How people see.

I should never smile,
Nor listen to my heart.
It is then and and only then,
That my problems do start.
They tell me I'm a monster,
One who should never know joy.
That I will never be their man,
But some stupid boy.
That is if I'm human at all,
Or so they tell me so.
That I have no heart, or even a human's soul.
So leave me in my agony,
tears running down my face.
Knowing that you taught a vile fiend,
What is his true and proper place.
So hurt me with your lies,
And push me away.
Into the dark of night,

and never the light of day.

Author's Note

This is how people made me feel. So this is what I did to make this hell...bearable. How well do you think this was written and go ahead take the gloves off.

Deep dark occult and beautiful. I feel the duality of controlling the smile... I do not believe you're a monster, as you're a beautiful writer. These are moments which pass, and you shall overcome, time after time. However it's a kind of a scar, to build a new future on, carry with you, and move on... Wonderfully penned!

this is a well-written straight-forward poem. it brings to mind frankenstein's monster who was misunderstood and treated badly by the people. he never had a chance to show that he did have love in his heart. since he was helpless he just made it hell for the people who persecuted him. great poem, and brings to mind one of my favorite books. thanks.

reminds me of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein. There is a depth which seeps through as you paint your words in pain..emotive write. No one should feel like this.. :(

I have been in such a hell before. Of course I admit I am highly paranoid and often cannot relate to people. But anyway there is so much pain here. It feels like serrated knives across my mind, but it is a pain I can relate to.
