Freakish Thing

from I's TWINKLE by NATE WEIDA

/

lyrics

Born with wings
The freakish thing
The helpless babe,
Tossed to the streets
She was wronged, of course
But she was strong…

Raised by fowl
A pigeon now
She lives by eating seeds
And rips of bread
Which grows feathers ‘pon her
Deformed shoulders…

Passing folk all laugh and poke
Because the hunchback girl
Wears burlap bags for clothes…
She cries and cries saying,
“I’m glad glad I ain’t made the same as you….!”

You’re an injured dove
But don’t give up
You may feel used
But you ain’t through yet,
No, you ain’t through yet.
