Misunderstood

I am sorry, but I am not what you see. I have been beaten, hurt, tortured and stripped of my wings. I've been hated, laughed at, betrayed and hurt in every way and yet... I smile so others see someone happy,

My heart's been in my palm Blood leaking. I open up, but can't understand what I am seeking. I get bitten back like a dog to a hand. I'm weak in every way but society says be a man. Then I start struggling looki0

When others are lost we get looked at to make their plans, but end up stabbed in the back. I just wish I could understand the evil in a world full of wicked people.

People don't care about suffering they cant see with their own two eyes so The Sun sets happily, but another person dies. I just pray forgiveness is given for the friends I couldn't keep alive

I know this to be a truth. However so many judge the way I think and do. I as a human still try to reach perfection. But I fall and get sent in other directions.

In my world things are different from yours. When you see sunshine I see it pour. When it snows you get warm, but I'm used to the cold and thunderstorms.

I look above when I'm looking for hope. I see them dazzling lights finding comfort when thunder strikes. It's gorgeous seeing natures wrath. It makes me take different paths so I can learn as I find my way.

Others play safe until risk starts to outweigh and there's a chance of consequence. They get pompous and point in directions avoiding their own mistakes. Those closest are the first betrayed

I know this to be true my life's been hurt by others misconstrusions. They see me with the lesser and get confused, they have a story but none to tell it too. So I listen and I'm all ears but word spreads and I can't control what others hear.

So I'm labeled different because of what others fear. In the meantime I try to understand their life lessons and avoid the mistakes they made and wish could change.

I apply it to my life then authority gets confused as to how a kid can be so wise. Listen I will tell you the clothes, talk, and Flags are parts of human stories. However because they're raised different they don't get the glory.

Trust me you can't lead people without a plan, but you can't guide people without knowing them as a man. People only see what's chosen to be revealed, but Lord knows I'm a broken person that hasn't healed
