I don't care for people who don't care for me People who don't see the points as to why I'm not just right where they want me That I'm not who they want me to be All the while they have these troubles these troubles near as tall as mine But even when theirs comes to tower over them they can't find it in themselves to sympathize with mine Change You bark Change You bark again How can I accomplish alone what you were helped to achieve You won't answer, you won't care Because it's not your problem you say you love me but how When you can't be bothered to lift a finger to lift me up to the level of the status quo you expect of me If I can't be myself and being who you want is out of question Then who I am I What purpose do I serve It's easy for you to place blame but you never helped me along Is it my fault I was left abandoned by my mother at three while yours made sure to tuck you in by ten Hospitalized force-fed medication after medication for some problem they swore I had As if loneliness is a disease All my life the throwaway boy with his head in the clouds Like the cookie jar on the corner table top Chasing dreams you always said were too far up to reach Dreaming for something better than this Anything's better than this
