Always Me

Standing in a sea of people Yet I'm all alone Isolated from them I can hear their talk ripple Passing through me I'm drowned in happiness Smiles surround me Yet I feel sadness Happiness bounces off my shell Though on the outside I'm composed Inside I'm a mess I say nothing with a wrong intention Nothing to hurt no one Then why are my words twisted Why are my words always misinterpreted? I ask no question that can't be answered Yet no one seems to answer They treat me with indifference My curiosity criticized My questions subject to ignorance I am silent Not dumb I am observant Not a spy Yet I'm always misunderstood Always blamed Always targeted Wherever I may be Wherever I go I am plagued with the same reactions To all my actions Where do I stand In this land? Have I no feelings Am I wrong? All I ask from all the world Is a simple thing Don't blame me For what is not my fault Don't ignore what I have to say Don't push me away when I am near Don't make me your fear I am not weird I am not bad I am just who I am This is what I'll always be And no matter what I'm always me.
