Misunderstood

MISUNDERSTOOD

What is it in humanity
That cultivates insanity?
A child born so sound of mind
Is vulnerable to mankind

We battle drink and show him hate
His inner scars determine fate
We ask why hes so sad and thin
Then dose him up with Ritalin

And what was once so soft and gentle
Hardens, so we call him mental
How can he not be unstable?
When hes given such a label?

The doctors misinterpretate
When he tries to communicate
They treat him like some kind of freak
He learns his best just not to speak

And then they say that he is mute
They jail him in an institute
They keep him from his kids and wife
They take it all - hes got no life

They checked his bags but not his jeans
To him his blades his only means
He has no reason to exist
And that is why he slits his wrists

Misunderstood but finally
Hes happy and his soul is free
Just like back when he was a babe
The system put him in that grave
