You don't get what I am up to
You don't see from my point of view
It's like I speak a different language
You're a headline and I'm a haiku
You look at me with derision
Like what I do is pretty dumb
But if you've never put it all on the line
How can you know where I'm coming from
You don't got any point of reference
You've no idea what I'm on about
You look at me like I'm an alien
I give you doubt
You've never struggled with a direction
There's no place you've wanted to go
Everything has been taken care of
What you don't know you don't know
You look at me with discomfort
You'd rather I never even come around
"Don't go messing with my foundation"
You say, "don't disturb the ground"
Maybe you should try to write a poem
Spill your guts out on the page
Being met with indifference
You'd have a better way to gauge
Don't expect you'll be understanding
Don't want your sympathy
But I don't want your judgment
Like something is wrong with me
There are days when I just can't stand it
There are days when I lose my voice
There are days when it's all too painful
But then I continue, I have no choice
