I gaze at the endless sky

I point my finger to the stars

then my father tells me

I’ve been staring at Mars

I have an inner planet

there, my mind shall dwell

it’s heaven to my dreams

to reality, its hell

I hide from society

I’m never understood

I’d live with other people

If only I could

I speak my mind to people

hide my thoughts, never

they seem to take offense

it’ll be like this forever

Am I truly different?

Do I seem so distinct?

remember we’re all linked

brother, sister, all linked

It seems for only me

you have so much rancor

more hate aimed at me

even than for cancer

To you I am so weak

my health is oh so frail

but my mind is ever strong

my intellect shan’t ever fail

But life will someday win

soon the world will sigh

its target of hate is over

my time has come to die
