"No One Understands"

I feel like no one understands
What I feel inside.
No one lends their hands
To pull me from where I hide.

They laugh and talk behind my back.
They toss paper wads my way.
What quality of others do I lack
That makes me go through this every day?

I’ve built this shield around myself
To prevent anyone from getting in.
Now I’ve begun to hate myself
Because no one knows what’s within.

I feel lonely, depressed, and sad.
I don’t think these feelings will end.
The one think I need real bad
Is one good, true friend.

But wait! I know I am not alone.
I can and will feel better again,
Because God will never leave me alone.
He is my one, good, true Friend.
