Feeling Hidden

Why do I feel different and always so tense
I sometimes feel outcast by a very big fence
I struggle with company especially family 
I just don’t fit in and have loads of anxiety
They don’t understand what I’ve been through
The torture and evil things that they could do
I just wanted the love like mothers give to you
My evil one and stepfather to, were a bad curse
No earthly child could never ever want to trust
You always have to be on guard, he just hates you
The things he did always leaves the head torn in two 
I’m older now with to much hurt and unwanted pain
Like your carrying a bad smell with a nasty ugly stain
I just want to go far away in my own hidden forest 
Watch the stream see the trees no one to be a pest
So please try to understand how I feel inside
I just want to be like you so I don’t have to hide
