understood

sometimes i get the feeling,
that the whole world is laughing at me.
that i am forever telling a joke,
nobody gets.
that i am writing words,
nobody can read.
that i am speaking in toungues,
and no one comprehends.
that i will never be understood,
and i will live my life alone.
with no one to talk to.
nobody will ever understand my foolish ways.
nobody will ever understand,
not even you.
though i will keep talking,
keep writing,
keep screaming inside,
till i am breathless.
i will
keep telling my jokes,
laughing at myself on the outside,
but wishing i could be somebody else on the inside.
someone you understood,
someone you connected with.
could it be you never knew me?
you just pretended to love who i was,
meanwhile wishing i was somebody else.
why do you stay?
why do i stay?
you will never understand.
or maybe,
i
will never understand myself.
