Rejection

You can't love me, 
Because you know what I am. 
You say you love me, 
But you don't understand. 
It's not the same. 
I'll always be treated like I'm insane. 
A second class citizen, 
Like I'm going to destroy the world we live in. 
I've been hated, 
But its all faded. 
But to have this come from you. 
You were my last hope, 
I just don't know what to do. 
You just don't understand. 
You don't know what its like to be surrounded, 
And be so alone. 
I wish I could make you know. 
I was alone in my heart, 
When surrounded by love and trust. 
I feared rejection from the start. 
But I couldn't give up. 
And you may hate me, 
You may think this is wrong. 
But it makes me happy, 
So its where I belong.
