I am just a madman in your eyes,
A dangerous freak in human clothes,
With a mind that knows of only evil,
And love and comparison is something I will never know,
Your stories of my kind have defined me,
Even if I live in a so called tolerant age,
You may have released us from our shackles,
But we are still locked up in society\u2019s closed minded cage,
I am no devil and nor did hell send me here,
And no, I do not have any hell bent demonic lesson to give,
I am not here to do some biblical dirty work,
I am just a human trying to live,
Forever we be punished by your fear,
My life is dictated by the uneducated rumours of old,
My heart beats a sad dose of warm oppression,
Whilst yours beats icy cold,
In every book that has ever been created,
I am the monster that eats children as he howls at the moon,
And as I sit in my prison begging for nothing but peace,
The villagers and their pitchforks come for me soon,
I have paranoid schizophrenia,
To you I am Frankenstein\u2019s monster in his shackles and chains,
Cos It doesn\u2019t matter what I was born as,
Because to society, “Crazy” will forever be my name,
