Until They See

Family loves and supports you like no other

Yes they support
Yes they love
All until they know one thing
One thing that always seems to change everything
They'll turn their backs on me
They'll give their looks of disgust from the other side of the room, as if I've commited some horrible crime
But why?
How long will it take them to realize
All I did was love
I may be a monster in their eyes, instead of a human
But in the end, all I did was love
What happened to that love and support?
You always said it would be there, "no matter what"
That must have been a lie
Because the one thing I can't control becomes a reason for hatred, and from family at that
When they finally see me
It will not be pretty
It will never be pretty, until they gain the ability to see me the way they would anyone else
