Misunderstood

Always trying, but never getting anywhere 

Speaking my mind, but better off silent 

Picky about the company I keep, but complete strangers understand me better 

Never knowing where I stand, because I never had a good footing to begin with 

Why I bother anymore, I don’t even know 

It seems as if this is just the way things are, now and forever, misunderstood
