Misunderstood

For I have been misunderstood,
Not once,
But my whole life.

For I’m different, 
Unique from the rest.
Not like those around me,
Not like my family,
Not like anyone…
Just me.

Something which has taken me
A while to accept.
For I always felt I needed to fit in,
To be understood.
And no matter how hard I tried,
It seemed impossible…
It was impossible.

The logic,
The rational,
Used to explain my ways,
My actions,
My being…
Just didn’t seem to work.

Inadequate in all ways…
