They Wonder Why

They think that I don't see it

That I am as ignorant as the rest

They don't realize that just because I'm quiet

And you don't see me there, does not mean

That I don't see, hear, and know everything that is happening

They say that everything will change, get better

But they'll only last a week

Then everything goes back to what it once was

I'm tired of holding my breath, of having hope

And then it being snatched away in heartbreak and tears

They wonder why I am never home anymore

They wonder why I force myself to be alone

It's because I'm tired of being hurt

Tired of losing everything I love

And I want to find somewhere I belong

Because I don't belong in my own home 

I'm taking my first chance to leave

And never come back

They wonder why I hate it here

But it's because of them

And they don't see it

They Wonder Why
