Finding My Way

They say I'm weak
They don't voice it 
I can see it in their eyes 
They're thinking I'm a freak 

They can't see that I'm strong
That their views are twisted 
That they've been wrong all along

My mind may see different views
Some days I'm up
Other days 
I have the blues
They don't know what it's  like
To walk in these shoes 

With every breath I take
I hold it in 
Just to see their reaction
I do this for me 
Not for their satisfaction

I will be real
You will never see fake
This falls on me
With every decision I make 
Every mistake 
Is on me

That's the difference between you and me
You're too just to blind to see
The reality 

This life 
This day 
Tomorrow
I will still be searching
To find my way

I see you on the other side of this looking glass
Peeking through
The difference between me and you 
I will always be real

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
