Indignant

i tried to think it was your fault 
for feeling the way you do
i thought you could appreciate
a part of me who isn't you
but you called me weird 
and talked from fear
cause of what you thought
everyone else might do
i'm sorry i was born and raised
with a different point of view
and i'm sorry no one will ever like me
the same way they like you
i understand the feelings you have
about the things i do
but the more you hate of me what you lack
the less i appreciate you
