Acceptance
I hunger for acceptance
instead I am given a cookie
No "I understand you are hurting"
instead- "oh don't be so sensitive"
alone in my room, in my world
They just don't care
Why weren't you there, where are you?
I saw you, standing in front of me
yet I was alone in my heart
All I wanted was a relationship
What I got was a family
I wanted understanding for my feelings
validation of my thoughts, my fears
yet I was alone and so believed
that what went on in my head was truth
and I was punished for my actions
Locked up again, this time not just in my head
"time to get up, time to eat, time for bed"
They directed my every move, and I felt safe
Safe from what you wonder?
Safe grom my thoughts of its gotta be better
in any other world, reality or place than this
safe from the cuts that help me feel real
so I'm not floating, so I feel the pain
that's in my heart, instead of on my arm
All I want from you is love and acceptance
But I am not the person you want
I'm not the perfect person that I want desperately
Why can't you accept that I am me?
