Alienation

I feel so different
From those around me
Why do they look at me so strange?
What is it that they see?
I’m from a different place
A land that seems so dark
I came here to change things for me
I’m looking to make a mark.

    Alienation all around me
    I just cannot seem to win
    Everyone looks right through me
    Not seeing the pain I am in
    I try to fit in
    In a society where I do not belong
    Different thoughts and values
    Guess I’m not that strong
    Damn this alienation

Now I fight a battle
That I know I’ll never win
A futile attempt to make contact
Yet, still, I refuse to give in
I won’t sit down and die
And I refuse to disappear
I will find the voice inside me
Loud enough for this whole world to hear

    Alienation all around me
    I cannot seem to win
    Everyone still stares through me
    But still I won’t give in
    The mistake was trying to fit in
    In a world I don’t belong
    Different thoughts and different values
    I’ll show them all I’m strong
    To hell with this alienation

I am who I will always be
That, they cannot change
No longer do I care
If I seem different or deranged
To hell with those who hate me
For reasons I don’t see
The only thing I can figure
Is that they are jealous of me

    Alienation all around me
    Time to tear down the walls
    Time for me to show them
    That what they knew was false
    No more trying to fit in
    In this world we ALL belong
    Different beliefs and different values
    And none of them are wrong
    I am stronger than you think
    Fuck the alienation
