Misunderstood

Once again I find myself waking to the bed that I made,
It's not pretty, but I'm the only one worthy to lie in it.
your disappointment in me you wear on your face,
in your eyes nothing more than a disgrace
hypocritical views you have want to take my place,
maybe then you might understand,
just exactly who it is I Am.
a world of good intentions never matters,
but I wish they could,
then the world could see me.
instead of being misunderstood.
