To Be Understood

My weird ways have twisted me

Into the man I am today

One out of the crowd

That covers the planet's ground


I am not one of mass production

But of one made unlike any other

I yearn to be understood

By the normal people that inhabit this world


They do not understand me

Or even care to acknowledge me

I am just a reflection

Of the society that has ignored me


No one understands my weird ways

But there is one thing they do

They understand the part of me

That used to be normal too


I was once average

Until I experienced 'it'

It twisted me into a man

That couldn't be seen or heard


It made me think carefully

And made me realize

That the people in the crowd

Are all shouting battle cries


They yearn not to be understood

But to be loved

And that made me realize

Maybe, just maybe, what I had been trying to make them know


Was that they didn't really want to hear

What I was trying to tell them

I would never understand

Because I am different from them
