her weight against the glass
stinging cold against her flesh
her world spins with confusion
her heart beats with rejection

the world outside drowning in ignorance
like a disease - uncured
a plague - destruction of all purity
the air polluted with whispering gossip

voices in her head like screaming banjees
her reality crumbles
breaking slowly into grains of sand
noises fade - out of ear

drowzy
cold
rejected
broken

this glass cage is her cell
this world is her prison
serving a life sentence
for being born - for being herself

put on a high pedastal - for the world to judge
"dance freak dance"
like a monkey - begging for money
she begs for sympathy, for acceptance

the moon shines high and strong
her knees give in - dropping to the floor
"forgive me" she asks to the darkness
forgive her for being herself
