Misunderstood. That's what I am. You may think you know what it means, but you don't. So I'm here to tell you. Misunderstood is when a friend says, "Oh my gosh! That is so you!" Referring to the goody-two-shoes character on TV. But what that friend doesn't know is that you actually have a dark side. A side no one knows about. Misunderstood is when a friend says, "Why would that be me!?" Referring to the underestimated character who kicks someone's ass. But what they don't realize is that I would be the one to stand and fight, not you. I would be the one to protect you and everyone else because that's what I do. Misunderstood is when I am there for you no matter what, but when I'm in need you don't give a shit. Misunderstood is when a friend talks about how emo they are, but really they're following the trend. I may not be emo on the outside, but if you could see into my mind, even for just a few seconds, you would run away screaming. Terrified. Misunderstood is when you automatically assume my life is butterflies and rainbows. Misunderstood is when I try talking to you about my issues, but you shut me out. Misunderstood is when someone complains about how bad their life is while some of us have it worse. Way worse than you will ever know. Misunderstood is me. You assume things about my life and place labels on me. You don't stop and think that maybe I hide so you'll never see. Even if you did, you wouldn't care. I try to tell you all the time, but you just misunderstand me...

Peace for now. Stay alive.
