The Haters
Left in a corner,
Hid in a shell
Misunderstood,
And not seen for myself
They disregard me
And have little trust
How they perceive me
Is filled with disgust
Based on illusion,
And centered in hate
No appreciation
Of how I've been helping of late
When I'm trying
They take it as fake
And when I give up
A big fuss, they do make
I can't disguise it
How awful I feel
I put on a show
But I need something real
Feeling so hopeless
I know not what to do
End up dejected
And I am real blue
I won't control it
What they will think
I'll be disappointed
But won't let myself sink
It doesn't matter
What they will say
Thinkin is futile
Actions do stay
So, in the end most perceptions are false
And they can play a very negative role
What's most important is what you yourself think
Don't let fear matter, Don't let yourself shrink
