No I'm, I'm not unique
There are others, just like me
Navigating, through our lives
With injuries, that you can't see
We're the ones you thought odd
The ones that you called misfits
Don't look behind the closed doors
Your narrative might not fit
You find us easy to judge
It's all so clear in your eyes
We've been through terrible things
That you all normalised
You think that you know me
And all that I should be
Never try to find out
In your mind there's no doubt
You don't want me to be
More than your narrow eyes see
Resent how much I've moved on
Ignore all I've overcome
But we, we have great strength
But you choose, choose not to see it
You preferred it, back when
There seemed, no way through it
You could look down on us
Pity and patronise
Just glad it's not you
Living your perfect lives
Heard of but never met me
But you're already convinced
Because of claims that they made
With no evidence
We used to self-sabotage
Scarred by experiences past
But now that pattern is broke
No shame, no longer your joke
You think that you know me
And all that I should be
Never try to find out
In your mind there's no doubt
You don't want me to be
More than your narrow eyes see
Resent how much I've moved on
Ignore all I've overcome
You think that you know me
And all that I should be
Never try to find out
In your mind there's no doubt
Made to suffer in silence
From most kinds of violence
Did not have a choice
No validation or voice
Treated you different to me
Ensured that you didn't see
Each time they attack
See only how I react
Despite the effects
I learn, grow and reflect
I wonder how you would do
If instead they chose you
You think that you know me (You really don't know me)
You think that you know me (You really don't know me)
You think that you know me (You really don't know me)
You think that you know me (You really don't know me)
(You really don't know me)
(You really don't know me)
(You really don't know me)
(You really don't know me)
