Xeno

I hear you laughing at me with the echoes right behind me
I feel the air around me and your gaze upon my body
You look at me as if we are not the same
I try to run away like a bullet train
I turn around to find that there is nowhere I can hide
I wish I could reply but I don’t have the heart to try
I think I'm gonna cry but I keep pushing it inside
I stand there in the light as you dissect me with your eyes
What am I made of
That you’re afraid of?
Am I contagious?
I wanna wake up
It’s been a couple hours and the food is turning sour
Your voice is getting louder but you’re looking like a coward
You think that all I need is some clarity
You wanna try and put me in therapy
But don’t you think I've tried to sterilize my thoughts inside
I've prayed a million times and cried myself to sleep at night
But maybe you’re not right and we’re just different by design
‘Cause how can you decide who I can love and lay beside
What am I made of
That you’re afraid of?
Am I contagious?
I wanna wake up
