Understanding for the Misunderstood

I know what it’s like feel invisible
To speak and not be heard
To be dismissed and ignored
I know what it’s like to feel like a freak
Because no else believes as you do
Or sees as you do
Feels as you do
I know what it’s like to be angry at the world
To feel that love and compassion is gone
Because there is so much confusion, hatred and violence
I know how it feels
To be a stranger in this world
To wonder if you belong here
Why you belong here
To disappear because no one sees you
To lose your voice because no one hears you
You want to shake the world by its shoulders
You want to scream your repressed truth
You want to heal and love the forgotten
You want to be understood
You are not alone
