Stigma
If you want to talk about this
Meet me under a pile of comic books
Where your secret identity's intact
And the walls are soundproof
I don't know what you're ashamed of
If I were you the world would know my name
So what if your gift makes you strange
You don't understand
At least you're gifted, strange is all I am
And it would scare you to know
I never would say
What I'd give to steal your stigma away
Pull up a seat in the sidekick's lounge
And take it from your guide
I've been stared at since I learned to speak
And I'm still alive
If you're scared of what people see
I don't suggest that you be seen with me
I promise your name will be changed
I won't show my hand
They'll call me a liar, and I am
I've been lying for you
Saving your face
And keeping the world a charmless place
Where we don't belong
from Chimera, (c) (p) Gayleen Froese 1999
