Bane Of Zeal

Trigger Warning: Suicide

Whom have I become
Pariah through the dark
Repugnant stares
Awkward hair
Doomed from birth to start

Loser to a call
Ugly now they shame
Shallow peers
Left to tears
I can’t endure the pain

Maybe I was wrong
To feel a scent of blue
If only god had chosen
To leave me to the womb

Staring in the mirror
Placing knife to wrist
My calling here not earned
Death my final wish
