I once was human
Now I'm an ugly creature
That no one can stand
Even my family
Cannot stand the sight of me
I am hideous
What is that Creature
Standing inside my son's room
Mom it's me Gregor
My son was once man
A man I did not respect
But still a human
It was fun at first
But now it's aggravating
Taking care of him
We are over him
A disgrace to our household
Let's move on with life
Under the covers
I hide from my family
For their pride and sake
He sits there all day
Reading newspapers and books
What a lazy bum
I thought they loved me
No matter what shape or form
I guess they just lied
My mother loves me
Grete provides me with food
No comment on Dad
