Black Sheep

I’m sorry I messed up wish I could be the son and brother that you all admire I promise you that I’m trying but it doesn’t seem like it will ever be good enough I wish I could wake up and just breeze though life seeming so happy without a care in the world I’m sorry I’ve disappointed you but trying imagining being the odd ball in the family just because I chose to stand out they think I’m odd and that feeling can get very lonely I’ve always been taken for granted they don’t value my opinion I feel my presence is always unwanted they don’t take me into account it’s as if they don’t know my name but when I express myself they say it’s lame it’s times in my life when I feel no one truly loves me having that feeling of being all

alone is one of the saddest places to be I am tired of the lies. Sick of wiping tears from my eyes. I guess I just wish they could see how damaged I am inside. Instead, I hide it all away, saving it for me. I'm afraid they will all laugh if I let it free My smile hides my tears.

My laugh hides my screams.

It's been this way for years.

Things aren't as they seem.

I always seem so happy.

With not a care in the world.

But you should know, sadly

Many things go untold.

Nobody really knows me.

They only know my cover.

But I wish I could let it free.

Let them know what's under. My eyes are watery the clouds are grey no love around me to show me the way ... Imagine Being Me The Black Sheep
