Freak Show (Stigmatized) Poem by Balint Nagy

Freak Show (Stigmatized)



People say we're rebels and drama queens
But actually, we are just hard to please
When one of us steps to the scene
The air simply starts to freeze

Our fat or skinny body
-stigmatized by everybody
Our pierced or tattooed body:
-stigmatized by everybody

We are the sick and broken hearted
Sacrificial martyrs
A crowd of the nobodies
More singular, than anybody

Rise above that everyone humiliates you.
‘Coz behind your back
Everyone is dreaming of having the courage like you do
So put up the crown,
And give them the show…

Our fat or skinny body
-stigmatized by everybody
Our pierced or tattooed body:
-stigmatized by everybody

We are the sick and broken hearted
Sacrificial martyrs
A crowd of the nobodies
More singular, than anybody
