I'd rather be hated

I'd rather be hated for what I am,
Than loved for what I'm not,
I'd rather be known for who I am,
Than seen as who they want.

No-one ever really cares who you are,
They judge and they see,
Never the truth,
Just what they want.

If one person loved me for who I am,
Then for once I could be un sad,
For once I could be happy,
For once I could be glad.
