They called you an outcast

Leper

Unclean



They all feared the unknown

Forbidden

Unseen



So yes you were sick

Sad

Forgotten



Covered by flesh

putrid

rotten



But deep down inside

heart

soul



You're still a human

person

whole



So sad from betrayal

They wouldn't come near

They taunted and hid

From that which they fear

The fear was illusion

Not that they'd care

You're some one to laugh at

To point at and stare



And yes you look different

But that's only your face

They just call you an outcast

A human disgrace

Alone you fought hard

To sway from the choice

But without human comfort

What could you ever rejoice...?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this was acctually inspired by the book i'm reading right now.
And it is sad to think how hard it is to have a disease that nobody understands... and to be shunned for it.
