Incomplete

Just because im different, doesn’t mean you can judge me
Don’t point your fingers untill your own closet is clean.
Just because im suicidal, psychologically damaged
Doesn’t mean it gives you the right to think you know my real image.
I don’t need pills, and I don’t need help
I've been ok for years, I've learned to help myself.
Just because my brain is different doesn’t make you any better
I could care less about lyrically, incorrect haters.
My words are my therapy, my poems are my music
I took what I was blessed with and learned how to use it.
My inner self may be torn up, and my outside scarred
I'm not going to pretend I've had it easy, when I know it was hard.
And why should I explain my pain to you?
You walked out of my life before I was even two.
You think you know me, but what do you really know
That were related? Is that as far as it goes?
I never ran to you, I ran to me
I didn’t fit into your perfect little family.
I'm not you, and I'm not her, I will always be me
I'm so sick of getting caught inbetween.
I've got my own mind, and yes it is different
Because I was made out of another spirit.
Im to wise, some say, to old for my age
It's funny how ones life can get wrapped up into a cage.
Tell me one thing that you think I am
You cant figure me out im like a cryptogram.
I've wondered for many years why I get angry when I have to speak to you
It's because you were never there when I needed someone to run to.
The past is the past, and I can only move on
I may talk to you, but that doesn’t mean you can change what has already been done.
