I'd Rather

I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
I'd rather feel depression than anger
I'd rather be miserable than outspoken
For nothing is worse than being ignored while speaking your mind
To be isolated from everything else

I'd rather stand out and be myself
Than be a conformist and not know myself at all
I'd rather be hated for who I am
Than loved for who I'm not

I'd rather be mute than blind or deaf
For I'm softspoken and barely heard
So my words wouldn't really matter much at all

Nobody knows who I really am
Nobody knows how I really feel
The pain inside is just too real
I'll need someone to come along
Just to come and keep me strong
Not letting these feelings make me feel so void and empty
