Rest of Us

"THE REST OF US" I never found it hard to care for those who disliked me. no matter what the reason usually it was just spite not understanding while I WAS DETERMINED to be so kind and free from drama in the face of those who wished to fight me. This never stopped and I was so good at it because I was born that way No thats not true its because I was naive and didn't realize they wanted to hurt me because some of the remarks and manipulations happen at home so I thought it was just fraternization One day I woukd like to know what I did to them to garner there hate why would my own blood want to deny me anything good that I could of created chase off my love kill my credit destroy my sanity all while blaming me what a briliant war time strategy just wish I had known I was at war. I don't vent my negativity to people in front of me dailly I try to only give positive back even tho I know im one of the few who does and that is part of the reason some seem to hate me but I can't help who I am and because I can't hurt them, I hurt me I been trting to get out the way but something won't let me escape. like I owe the world a reason for being who I am Here it is who I am is a man who was confused made fun of misled and mentally abused I was silly enough to believe the lessons the bible and teachers taught me I stayed away from thinking differently. but I was mistaken to think people were really as good as they claimed to be but I was and they destroyed me for being what they taught me to be. I have but just one last request if I may be so bold call it a reward for doing what I was told then I will go with no fuss just show me what its like to be someone who could look at me and say man he not like the rest of us.
