I get told I can't join
Doesn't matter if you said it in a nice way
It still hurts my feelings
Like I'm an outcast
Maybe I'm better off
Being a loner and pushing you away
It's not fair
Why can't you understand?
At least change the rules of the games
So all can participate
Not nice to tell a blind person
You can't play tag with us
No fun for the deaf to be told
Sorry, this game requires hearing only
I hide my pain and cry alone
I feel so alone but I know I am not
Why can't you understand?
The frustrations I put up with
How blessed I am not to have become mean
I'm choking up inside now though
Drowning in a sea of darkness
Where nobody can hear my cry for help
Oh, can't you try to understand?
That I feel like I don't fit in
Please don't make it harder for me
Or make me sit all alone in some corner
Hiding away from the world, and the pain I feel
I guess I'm better off being an outcast
Or maybe I am not...
