Misunderstood

Have you ever had a day
when no one understood?
Like, when to you someone may say,
"What would you like for food?"
So, you order a hot dog and chips.
When it comes back--corn dog on a stick.

Have you ever had a day
when no one understood?
Like, when have a bad day
and nothing is ever good.
You fail some important test.
When will he quit? That pest!

Have you ever had a day
when everything goes wrong?
Like when you just can't speak
or you just can't stop doing it wrong.
Your feet won't go where you tell them
and your mind just keeps wondering on.

Have you ever had a day
when everything goes wrong?
Like, when you just can't say
and again you're accused of wrong.
You try the very best that you can
and you find yourself in the frying pan.

Sometimes it's really hard, when you're trying to fit in!
You feel like a piece of shard, and then nobody cares again.

*Originally written on the 25th of April, '96.
