You Don't Understand Me, Therefore You Leave Me Alone

Why do you have the authority to look down on me?
You don't know who I am, you just see what you see.
You don't know what I yearn to live for,
and even if you did know me, you don't anymore.
You're not sure of where I have embraced with these scars,
and even if you wondered, you'd never try to learn that far.
You don't know how I save myself, from this bitter cold,
you don't have a clue, to what I've been unwillingly told.
I've changed in so many ways,
that I no longer recognize my own face.
All the feelings I needed to know no longer stay,
and what you want me to believe, is no longer my case.
I tried to be like you, and like no surprise I just failed.
While you were content with yourself, inside my soul just
sailed.
Sailed in an ocean, an ocean lost at sea.
Everything you said, was brought crashing down on me.
I thought you were gonna be there for me,
I thought you were gonna care.
I thought you were gonna hold me,
And not let my teardrops cut me open and tear.
I tried to be there for you, through everything I could.
But now it just seems like everything I did was a waste,
and only your cold blank stare is what I still can taste.
So now your all on your own, no matter how much this makes
me feel alone.
I'm tired of tearing myself down due to you,
and causing myself to hurt more when you don't realize what
you do.
I'm sorry for what I've said, more importantly what I don't.
But I don't know what you want to hear, and guide me you
won't.
If you need me, I'm the one curled up in the corner,
but I'm sure when you look over there, you'll be looking
right over me.
Looking right over my body, and right over my head....
looking right through my soul, which you can't even see is
dead.
So leave me sitting there, the closest thing I have to
being whole,
leave me sitting there, leave me sitting in this cold.
