I don't belong here, I never have
I'm an alien with no planet to claim
My blood runs black
My veins are rubbery and gray
My face drawn with paleness
My fingers spidery white

I have found glory in happiness
I know who I am
My blood is bright crimson
My veins are a beautiful pastel blue
My face is bright and flushed
My fingers dance across piano keys

And I sigh.
And hum.
And sing.
