Outcast
I ask myself
What's wrong with me?
but all i get,
is what you see.
I'm stupid, I'm ugly,
I'm different from you.
why your opinion may count,
how it affects me, if you only knew.
Can't you see my tear-stained cheeks?
Can't you see that deep down I'm weak?
You know only one thing,
I'm just not the same.
and you dont even bother
to remember my name.
you leave me in the dark
where I only shed tears,
you've left your own mark,
like others over the years.
but you forgot one more thing
as you left me behind
I'm still here! I'm here!
dying in the back of your mind!
In your eyes, I'm nothing,
unworthy of your eyes.
to me, you were something,
that now makes me die.
