Alien
I live in the shadows. No one sees me. I don’t need a name… yet I’ve apparently been given the name “Alien.” They don’t know me. They wouldn’t want to if they had ever laid eyes on me. I guess I’m pretty much their worst nightmare. I look similar to the humans, I like to think, besides my skin being a bit too tight. It extenuates the muscles in my body and my cheeks are as wrinkled as the elderly in their race. This bottom jaw of mine comes to a point up towards the few teeth at the top of my mouth. My eyes are cloudy, but I see fine. There're multiple horns bulging from the top of my head. A new one sprouts on what they would call my birthday every year. Our years go by differently though. One year where I’m from is three years here. I’m 24 years old.

Darker Disney
We’ve all seen these Disney movies, but I bet you haven’t seen them like this. 'Cinderella' After Cinderella gained two awful stepsisters who were desperate to be the prince’s bride, her father passes away and her evil stepmother forces her to become the housemaid. When the big ball comes up, Cinderella finds that she now has a fairy godmother who tailors her a beautiful gown and gives her a pair of glass slippers all to wear to the party, but she loses one of her shoes on her way out. The prince takes off with the shoe, after falling in love with her, and tries to find the foot that fits. Yet this fairy tale is actually gorier than told, for it’s not a fairy godmother who brings her what she needs—it’s actually little birds that grant her wishes and bring her gold slippers rather than glass. And when one of the stepsisters tries to fit her foot into the golden slipper, to prove she is the prince’s meant-to-be bride, she can’t fit her big toe in. So her mother gives her a knife and tells her to cut it off because when she is queen, she’ll never have to go anywhere on foot anyways. She does as her mother has said and it fits. Then she’s busted when the little birds tweet to the prince, “Turn and Peep, Turn and Peep, There’s blood within the shoe. The shoe it is too small for her, The real bride waits for you.” With the second sister, it’s the same result except for this time, the problem is her heel, so she slices it off, for her mother tells her the same thing. But the prince eventually finds Cinderella.

Showman
You are quite an actor, staying hidden behind your mask. The world doesn't see the real you drowning in your flask. Hats off to the performance, but now it’s time to go ahead and let out your rage. Uh oh, put it on pause, it’s time to go back on stage. You tell all these stories, you live all these lies, but I know the secrets hidden in your eyes. I know all the stories. You think think you can just hide. Getting everything done for you. Living on a free ride. Wait… Wait.. she did your makeup wrong, but before you begin the brawl. Smile, Smile, the Curtain is about to fall.

Small
I hold you in my pocket where I try to distance you from my head. I push your judgment down along with everything you’ve said. I wish you would leave me alone, I wish I didn’t have to cry, I wish you didn’t follow me around. Nothing will be rid of you no matter how hard I try. I'm never good enough, everything I do is disastrous. That’s what’s imprinted in my brain. It’s not just me, it’s not just me! Anyone would have gone insane. Why can’t you be satisfied? Are you running away from your fears? The fears of seeing who you actually are, hearing your words with your own ears?
