Misophonia
I'm sorry who I am is not who you want me to be!
My brain is messed up, but all I know is I am worth less than flea.
Who gives a crap if I die? Certainly not you.
"You're worthless!" That's what I hear, subliminally spoken by you.
You don't care about what I feel, or the sounds that nearly kill me.
All you care about is crunching chips, and thinking that it's funny.
Or whistling your "s" and making me want to punch a tree.
No, really, I can see you! Contorting your mouth to amplify what drives me crazy.
All I want to know is, why you are like this?
All I want to know is, how am I to fight this?
When the ones sent to care for me seem to think it's funny,
That I die on the inside when everything is noisy,
That telling me I'm wrong all the time is nothing but a trifle,
That screaming about my mistakes is not like holding a rifle?!
I'm trying to be who I can be, but your lack of trust is painful,
It's hard to not give it all up when your whole life seems baneful.
