This Dark World
Behind this smiling mask
Lives a broken soul,
Too afraid to show true emotion.
Because today we live in a world
Where normal is a synonym for hate.
So when I’m told that I’m not normal it feels great,
It used to hurt but maybe normal isn’t my fate.
When I look around I see a dark world
Where happiness torments the abnormal like me,
Because in this world happiness is tragedy
If making one person happy puts another in agony,
Then being unhappy sounds a lot better to me.
Even though it's making me fall apart,
At least I know that I still have a heart.
Unlike people in this world today
Who will laugh if you’re retarded or gay,
But we’ll be the ones laughing on judgment day
Because they’re the ones with a heavy price to pay

We live in a world where we are taught to lose our humanity by shutting off emotion which is supposed to be symbolic for strength to which I strongly disagree. It is that which allows people to treat each other so terribly and feel absolutely no guilt or empathy. Be grateful for finding the ability within yourself to keep your heart intact for it is one of the greatest gifts we have been given.
