I Am

I am Dark and Different
I wonder when the darkness will end
I hear the screams of the dead
I see there blood on my walls
I want to stay in the dark
I am dark and different
I pretend to care
I feel like ashes blowing in the wind
I touch the blood to feel the death
I worry when I will see the light
I am dark and different
I understand that everyone dies
I say death is better than life
I dream about my end
I try to see life through
I hope to die a painful death
I am dark and different
