They can't stand seeing me happy,
They never have and never will,
Life hasn't been fair at all,
There are so many unanswered questions,
I desire to get answers to.
Why can't they stand seeing me happy?
Why can't I find the inner peace I yearn?
Why do the ones I trust backstab me?
Why is faith against me all the time?
I tried to change and conform myself,
I tried to stash my emotions away,
Just so I could get their appraisal,
But all I got was judgement.
They would never consider me theirs,
They would never consider me good enough,
I have my flaws but they wouldn't accept me,
Not even for the person I am deep down.
Though I haven't found answers to my questions yet,
All I can afford right now is Hope,
Hope in the end,
Everything will turn out for the better
