Repulsive blight this carrion disease
Doctors know no cure
For this curse that belongs to me
Prejudice isolation from my peers
Who cannot see
Beyond their baseless fears
My mother's dead, the love is gone
Her replacement's found
She despises my soundless song
Forced labor in the gritty streets
Ridiculed by all
These insults must I erroneously greet
Punished venomously because I breathe
Can't handle the conflict
Deciding alone, from home, I take my leave
And enter the work of sideshow hell
Repugnant masochist
My flaws so perverse they sell
Sanctuary from suffering vicariously
Vassal to the throne
The Queen so kind to stay with me
Wildflowers accompany my grief
Alone at night
Quiet end and sigh without relief
I feel as if God's not to blame
Only myself
Freak of natural disgusting shame
Requesting feelings from the blind
They're the only ones
Who would associate with my kind
Condition steeped in deterioration
I waste away
Behind the merciless axe of contagion
Last rest's eve has surely gone by
Sleeping trauma
Fractured neck upon which my final wishes die

- This is a retelling of the events in the life of Joseph Merrick, not mine.

- like many, you are another person who likes to follow the same path of depression- but forks in the road: suicide,depression for life-hurting those around you- or you could get over it and be happier.
