• Who are these people?
    Laughing at my appearance?
    Am I really that hideous?
    Or are they blind?

    Can they say they know me?
    Just because they saw me?
    Behind closed bars,
    I lie here judged.
    What did I do to earn such torture?

    Back at my home,
    I would have been the fairest of them all.
    With a lover and two little ones.
    But then these beasts came,
    took me away and locked me in a cage.

    I lie here,
    behind closed bars.
    Wondering what I did wrong.
    Was it my late deliveries?
    Or maybe I forgot to pay the folks a visit?

    Only they knew, and I won't be out to find out.
    I lie here,
    staring at you.
    did I do anything wrong to you?
    Your teeth show in that smile,
    the laughs coming out in denial.

    I don't hate you because I'm here,
    Just tell me what I did wrong,
    and maybe I'll disappear.
