“Acceptance”
Though my heart is full
It doesn’t feel like it
I feel nothing
But anger and resentment
Am I who I thought I was
Or someone who’s trying to find a place to fit in?
But the real place I fit in
Is nowhere
No matter where I go
I’m rejected
I wish I had the feeling of acceptance
But people hate me too much
All everyone says
Are bad things
They say things
That I’m use to hearing
I try to fight back
But what’s the point
They’re going to keep saying things
I’m not sure
But I’d rather be dead
Then hearing this
I’ve heard these things too much
Too often
Especially from people who don’t know a single thing about me
The world would be better off
Without me here
It doesn’t feel like it
I feel nothing
But anger and resentment
Am I who I thought I was
Or someone who’s trying to find a place to fit in?
But the real place I fit in
Is nowhere
No matter where I go
I’m rejected
I wish I had the feeling of acceptance
But people hate me too much
All everyone says
Are bad things
They say things
That I’m use to hearing
I try to fight back
But what’s the point
They’re going to keep saying things
I’m not sure
But I’d rather be dead
Then hearing this
I’ve heard these things too much
Too often
Especially from people who don’t know a single thing about me
The world would be better off
Without me here
