X-men:Evo poem
this is basically an insight into Kurt's mind on his first day at school looking "normal"
I'd give it a PG rating

There is still time to turn back...
I mean, I don't have to go through with this,
I could just simply
Turn around
and walk out of here
And not risk being seen
While in the monk's habit, back home,
nobody could see my face
but nobody expected to...
They just accepted it
greeted me with friendly nods...
called me "Friend".
That is...
until the hood came off
when they saw my hideous face...
Then I was
"Demon"
"Hellspawn"
"Freak"
That's when they brought out the flames,
the guns,
and so much pain...
I was nearly slaughtered
for the sin of being born the way I was
I came here
so that my family could be safe
so that I could be treated as a fellow human being
so that I might meet some others
who might or might not be
just as diferent
as me
just someone else to talk to
to relate to.
But it looks as like, even here, I am an outcast.
Everyone else here could pass as human
Others look at me
and they wonder
If their powers
will turn them into something
just as hideous
as me.
This inducer doesn't offer much protection
I can walk among the masses, now,
but only very carefully
I feel...
naked
knowing that it
only takes one thing....
a brush against someone's hand,
one tiny glitch in the watch,
or one connection to be made
between the pale Kurt Wagner
and the blue demon that is the Nightcrawler
for it all
to fall
down.
Would they use torches?
guns?
fists?
Would they deport me?
or send me off to be studied?
This
whole
experience
could end up with me being dead...
whether by their means
or by my own hands
(May God forgive me if it comes to this).
Steeling myself for the worse... I cross the threshhold into a new journey.
