Sail

I will always root for the underdog or the person who is never heard. 
Shame on the people with stitches on their ears or staples in their eyes. 
Don't make me want to show you how much it actually hurts. 
To be ignored or to be treated like a devil who cries. 
You may think that you have us all figured out but you're wrong. 
Yes you with your nose glued to the ceiling. 
Who try to make us feel like our importance is gone. 
You think you have a clue that you know how this is feeling. 
Understanding is a steep want I know. 
I'll continue trying even if there's no avail. 
Maybe one day I'll stop letting show. 
But, right now all I can do is let it sail.

Read a couple of your poems, expressive, highly personal, and yes did remind me of Lana's lyric. Hope you find what's missing. :)
