De Guzman, Senteno.
To Kill A Mockingbird:
Am i a freak?
Do I look like a monster?
Are you embarrassed of me?
Why do you lock me up like this?
What did I do to deserve?
Is it because of all the rumors that they whisper?
Or is it the stories?
But even though they say all those things,
you should know none of it is real.
So why is it that you keep me here?
Are you afraid of me leaving?
Is that why you keep me here?
Or do you just like keeping me isolated from everyone else?
Do you even know what it's like to be this isolated?
To feel so alone?
Because I do,
and it's all because of you.
You say you keep me here to protect me,
to keep me away from all the pain
but locking me up like this is making me go insane!
So tell me why do you really keep me here?
