They wonder why you fell so low
Swung so close to death
Tried to give up on your own life
still wondering what you did wrong
They expected you to respect them
but you wondered what they meant
respect is for the deserving
for those with a life well spent
You tried to fit in, tried to explain
but rejection is quick and painful
they spoke to you cruelly, to make you shameful
So now you sit all alone
head in your hands trying to hide
from those who left you on the outside
trying so hard to create
that perfect world in your head
imagining, trying to forget what they said
but the pain from the scars remind
you are the only one left behind....
