dear world,
you judge me for being alone, and then mock and insult me for it,
but then you judge me for the faults and wrongs, that others "just like me" do.
you criticize me whenever i make a mistake,
but never acknowledge any faults of your own.
you play down any virtues i have, and dismiss whatever good i do,
but you're always quick to pounce, whenever i do something to hurt you.
and whenever my fears destroy all my hopes,
you're always the first to snigger at all i've lost.
you always try to make feel small, and what good you gain from it - i'll never know.
for far too long i thought you were on my side,
but now i've learnt that i'm better off in my own world.
and even though, i give much more than what's asked of me,
from you i'll never find the things i need to be happy.
so you can sneer, whenever you see me pass,
but it just shows that me you care, but i no longer care for you.
