Misunderstood
He was never in first place, and usually in last
Doing whatever he could to keep a low profile in class
Empty feelings deep down full of soul
Dragging through life with no particular goal
He never had any friends, or any one to speak with
Always made fun of for being the "sweet" kid
Only wanted a chance to be accepted
But many opportunities he was given were to be regretted
He was living in a lonely world with no father
So he chose to blame HIM for not pushing him farther
And when he's talked about at school he cries a little harder
No way to escape the pain he withstands
He escapes the pain when he dreams of the man
The man who should be there to take his hand
And tell him its alright I'll be your friend
So he endures the bullying and pain everyday
Hoping to find a friend who will actually care
Looking up to his father in every way
Even though his father was the one who was never there
So is it his fault that he decides to end his life for good?
He just wants to escape this nightmare, for he was only misunderstood.
