I am a scary monster

That's why they all hate me

Knowing me evokes fear

That's why I'm treated so badly


Look just like a human child

Any would mistake me for one

But inside there's a terrible wild

That all of society would shun


I went to school back then

And sat among children

In a matter of time until when

My identity was maken


I am a scary monster

That's why they all hate me

Apprehensions of parents glower

That's why they expelled me


I was evil by my birth you see

A sinful child of fate

The monster was born with me

I was scarred by all the hate


My parents were possessed by it

And embedded into my soul

I had no choice embracing it

My life was a big dark hole


The monster killed my mother

In a slow, agonizing way

It also took my father

In an equally cruel play


Without a family or home I roam

Holding his evil hand

In solitude sometimes I moan

Of the deaths by his demand


But people are afraid of me

For I am always by his side

And so I am never worthy

To have a human beside


I am a scary monster

That's why they all hate me

That's why my neighbour's mother

Asked her to stay away from me


The monster that resides within

Will one day stop my heart

Punished for all my sin

In peace I will depart


Lonely child in troubled days

Always begetting despise

They hurt me with their mere gaze

So cold with unfeeling eyes


They act like it's my fault

It doesn't help that way they made

A victim of their assault

For I was born with AIDS


But sometimes within moments

I cry between my heaves

For it is in these moments that I feel

I'm not a monster as they believe


And sometimes in such moments

I feel that I too am human

Just a little ill fated

But still am I not their brethren...
