False Judgement

I'm sick of everyone at my school thinking I'm the evil reincarnate. They all think I'm so satanic because of the stuff I write, the clothes I wear, my artwork, and the music I listen to. :/

A dog bares its teeth

The first thing you think of is me

Underneath these scales and claws

I've flesh and bone and feelings

 

Toxic vitriol fills my voice

To force down insults is your choice

I can scream, and laugh, and cry

I'm not just some freak who tried to die

 

You think you know me

Because of your perception

The mask I wear

The hate I swear

Is all a facade of deception.
