Family's Misfit

She says I'm not good enough
Wishes i was never born
Do I keep on trying?
my spirit is totally torn

Stand up straight
Why are you so dumb?
Why cant you be like her?
I wish i could go numb

You'll never do me proud
You'll never do anything right
A question lingers in my mind
" Mom why do you always want to fight?"

He says I'm a nobody
that I'm pathetic and sad
He hasn't wanted to see me in months
These words spoken from my dad

No encouragement
No more wanting to keep on
Many more lonely nights
Crying until dawn

An old family photo
hidden in my drawer
Looking at it tears me up
makes my heart so soar

The smiles so fake
the love long gone
How did this happen?
Why is everything so wrong?

All complete strangers
Living in one space
nothings OK anymore
we cant even look at one another in the face

WERE LIVING A LIE
Am I the only one to admit it?
if your not ignoring me your hurting me
I'm the family misfit

go on with your so called perfect lives
without one word to me said
Continue to kick me when I'm down
To you all I might as well be dead
