Reflections of the Past, Visions of the Future

I thought this noxious pain would abandon my agonized heart after a while
I thought if I could write better it would ease on me 
Maybe my tacks were wrong,
I couldn't find my way to exist, still a character of a juvenile
They mocked my will, my reasons, my need to smile
No matter how old, never will be mature enough
I came the last, cried a bit much, been called the spoiled infant
They refused to see the unpleasant substance runs in my veins
That I was a bit too lonesome, compared to the rest. 
I tried to hold onto the little ones, they arrived long after me;
Even my eager attempts were not solid enough for them to see.

Now I found my company, he took my solitude, turned "I" to "we"
All I needed is his camaraderie, only his devotion, love, caring
Still feels too great to ask a little sympathy,
From the ones who stood before me
Never have the right to feel, just a naive employee.
