They Just Don't Understand.

Tired of the reminders of my own imperfections...
I'm losing my mind... Losing direction...
I deal with the insanity day after day.
All I really want is for it to just go away.

The criticism, the insults... They're tearing me apart.
The words are like daggers, stabbing my heart.
They just don't understand the pain that is dealt.
Like whip upon whip... Welt upon welt.

They will never understand this hell that I feel.
Oblivious to the emotions that to others are real.
Rarely does sadness become their emotion.
Rarely in their minds is there ever a commotion.

They will never understand the pain I endure.
They act like they're kind, but are not all that pure.
I'm going insane... I just want to scream!
I truly do wish this were only a dream...
