They Say They Know Us
Do you know the feeling of being pitied?
Do you know the feeling of being left behind?
Do you know the feeling of hearing whispers?
Do you know the feeling of searching eyes?
They say they know us
They say they hate us
They say that we’re weird
They say that they wish we died
Sure, I have mental problems
And that makes me different
But who are you to judge
Just because I’m not on the mean?
You don’t know me
You don’t know what I go through
You don’t know the panic attacks I have
You don’t know the things I crave
So go ahead and leave me alone
Go ahead and abandon me
I’ll watch, no smile on my face
Leave if I’m too _much_ for you
Mental Illnesses
Physical Illnesses
Emotional Illnesses
On and on and on
These normal people don’t get it
Or maybe they don’t care
But the ones who know
The ones who actually have them
We know ourselves
We know our worth
We know who we are
We know what we can do
And they can’t stop us
Because they’re scared
They’re scared because they can’t predict us
They don’t know us
They say they know us
But _we_ know _us_
And that’s that
Bitch
