The Ones that tried

Misunderstood

No one understands me.

I am kicked, scorched, and hurt

I am left drinking me pain away,

And drowning in my own sorrow

Because I am misunderstood

No one gets me

Everyone plays and laughs and has fun

And leaves me out

They don't understand my demeanor,

And They don't try to,

And I am left in the shadows,

Misunderstood

How does one put a price on a life?

How can you say that one is worth more than another,

That a cheerleader is better than a book reader,

People put a price on me

They brand me with physical money,

And make notes on my status.

I am nothing to them because they don't understand me,

Misunderstood.

I have a price on my head.

The people around me don't love me,

They don't even like me.

They can't. understand me, so they don't try to,

And They wouldn't miss me if i was gone

I am gone looking in,

They still don't understand me,

And They still don't miss me.

They miss the money I brought them,

Not me, not the person

And my thoughts and opinions are still in their heads,

As they still don't understand me,

Misunderstood
