The Harsh Reality

Nobody paid attention when the situation caused tension
disrespectfully dismissive saying it was my invention 
label me as needing lies to feed hunger for attention 
turning all eyes blind spreading theories and misdirection

Leaving me alone and subject to the suffocation 
laugh at me though I show a clear and open frustration 
never letting go of the idea it's my creation 
as slowly distance grows leaving me in isolation 

In reality my jobs lost but is shown no recognition 
bullied out unfairly forced to sign my resignation 
seeded in all minds remains the idea exaggeration 
unemployed I'm acting up displaying aggravation 

I needed help but when I shared
I was shown nobody cared 
they even had the nerve to dare 
and spread their idea everywhere 

Treating me like I'm a fool 
claim I'm always shouting wolf 
joking all the while I fall 
tell the world I talk the bull 

How dare they not believe my words 
show I'm worthless and desert 
ridicule pain and make it worse 
call me mad as truth they search 

The truth was silenced the whole time 
as was I whilst labelled out my mind 
the truth I tell shows friends unkind 
as all tell me help I must find 

Ignorance phenomenal 
I suffered and lost it all 
I was treated horrible 
now I'm judged illogical 

They don't believe a word I say 
they don't believe this adds to pain 
and I tell friends to go away 
the world believes I'm acting strange 

This is my reality 
an unknown actuality 
viewed as my insanity 
though it all happened to me 

So I walk on alone
understood and not upset 
losing everyone I've known 
knowing their an idiot
