Misunderstood
It’s difficult when my family
Takes the things I say and misunderstands me
“you said this but you meant that”
“you did this but you meant that”
Conversations continuing with no end
Slowly stretching like a rubber band
And then….SNAP!!!
It’s a wrap
The argument is done
I’ve lost and they’ve won
It doesn’t matter what
I
do or say
Because no one pays attention anyway
They present their side of the story
And take away my pride and glory
It doesn’t matter whether I’m wrong or right
They’re older, I should know better than to put up a fight
Not given a chance to explain my side
The real me always wants to hide
To hide all my passion, love, and laughter
To not get to enjoy my happily ever after
It makes me want to go away from my family
Somewhere where I can rest and regain my sanity
So as not to constantly live in doubt and fear
To return happy and joyful to those I love dear
Slowly though I feel like I’m in entering depression
It hurts more when people get the wrong impression
I want to change myself and I don’t know how
God please help me change, please start now
Change me back to the happy and reserved person I used to be
To be able to live a happy, joyous, fulfilling life and be free
Free from all the evil and hatred that I’m around
To place my feet firmly on the ground
To be happy and proud
I know you’re there and I know you can hear me
I know you’ll help me be the best person I can be
As I reach out to you on this troubled day of mine
I know you’re reaching back and you’ll make it all fine
My deepest love and appreciation goes out to you
I’ll spend the rest of my life and eternity serving you.
