Today is Frankenstein Day

all he ever wanted was a female version he could love

I saw that today was Frankenstein Day and decided to comment. Afterall, I’m an odd monster myself, so I can relate to the Monster in Frankenstein.

Not only can I relate to him, but I’ve been in his shoes, I’m the Monster that was looking for love. I say that in the past tense because it feels as though I’ve found someone of my own kind in girl.

So here’s to all the Monsters out there in Never Never Land who haven’t found him/her/them…

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don’t give up
‘Cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not beaten yet
Don’t give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we’d be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up
‘Cause somewhere there’s a place
Where we belong

Peter Gabriel / Don’t Give Up

Not exactly what you expected from a Monster? Well?

Don’t give up, there’s a place where we belong…
