(Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner’s Dictionary)
COME SEE THE FREAK!
They chain me with their words,
Crucify me with their stares,
Pick me apart like a pinned down mayfly,
Tearing my wings away with their whispers
Until I am but a worm under their feet,
Until I am a curiosity made harmless behind glass.
“Come look, come look at the deviation,
Look at the freak,
Toss rotten fruit
At the monster”.
There was a time I would have given
My eye teeth to be normal,
But now I’ve decided I’ll keep them:
If I can’t bloody my knuckles on their cheeckbones,
I’ll bite into their soul’s jugular with my eyes.
I am done seeking
Acceptance and forgiveness
For sins that are not sins
From spiteful children who hate things that fly.
Come see the deviation,
Come spit on the monster,
Come close to the freak,
And be devoured.
F.
