monster

By the broken

people
they say i'm weird
they want me to die
they call me a psychopath
i say come near me and you'll meet my wraith

they say i'm a monster
i can't feel
my heart is the blackest steel
but this
this is only partly true

i am a psychopath
i can't feel
but
i can see
see the small light
in a tainted world
the crying child
in the crowd of blood
the small innocence in the world
screaming to be saved
so yes i am a monster
but at least i can see the light
