Why Bother Us
So we've talked already once
about how this isn't us
We thought we could make this work
but I won't at the expense of changing us
I don't feel this is because of us
we aren't the one that judged or went digging
We feel this is because of them
we bit our tongue
and held it in
But what good did it do
Now they think I should maybe get help
they didn't come to us
they took it above
And now everyone looks at me differently
Why can't people just let us be
and not judge me
I'm different
I'm a outcast
we know
But why must you bother us
when we leave you alone
