Have I Gone Mad?

Misunderstood

Nobody understands me
It's because I dress differently
Listen to different music
Because I'm different
Because I'm an outcast
Casted out by those who I thought would support me

I feel so many things:
Betrayed
Weak
Hurt
Angry
These things flow through me constantly
Never giving me a break or chance to breathe

Peoples judging stares
The rude remarks
All of which I've come to accept with being different
with being me

I just don't care anymore
People's opinions used to matter to me
Now...

The only opinion that matters is mine
I may come off as defensive but I've got to protect myself
All my life people have judged me and bullied me
Because of how I looked and the music I listened to
So If I don't protect myself

Who will...
