Misunderstood

They always think me funny
But I don't see why they laugh
I just misunderstand things
Though I try to catch up fast

They always think me happy
But I always feel so sad
With all that torments my little world
How could I ever be glad

They always think me quirky
But one day they will see
I know more than they believe
And their boxes aren't for me

They always think me mean
But while I'm harsh, that is true
My blunt behavior is who I am
It's how I care for you

They always think me smart
But I truly feel so dumb
I put up these broken mirrors
Now it's who I have become

They always think me different
And to me that should be good
But when I look into their eyes
I know I've misunderstood
