Have You Ever Felt

Have you ever felt like a freak
Who had no room to speak
Have you ever felt so alone
That you don't have a home

Maybe you wear a mask,
Maybe you are afraid to finish a task.
Regardless of what it is, you feel alone
Maybe you're like me, who does all of the above.

I wear a mask sometimes,
Help people out with their problems,
I fail to read between my lines
And my problems always pop up

"Have you ever felt like a freak?"
Yeah. I have. I can never win.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
I dunno. After my dad died no one could listen.

In fact, people wrote me off.
People used me and left me behind.
So why do they look at me funny when I talk about suicide?

All I'm saying is, I've felt so alone
So far from a home with no one to hold
Do I regret writing this? No.
Because if you have ever felt like a freak or anything, you know what I mean.

And no matter what, whether or not you're invisible or unseen I'm here for you. I'll point you to the One who knows exactly how we feel.
