I wonder why I am who I am                            
Sadness, sorrow and again                             
I have no love                                        
I lost him when                                       
He found out who and what I am                        
He just couldn't understand I am who I am             
He kept wondering why I am this way                   
My friends don't understand all I go through          
They just wonder if I will ever be them               
They just can't adjust to the candle lighting         
And keep away from this world I'm in                  
My parents have no sympathy for what I go through     
I tried something suicide twice already               
And they keep pushing for my happiness to pull through
Why can't they all just understand                    
I am who I am                                         
And I will never be them                              
I need someone to understand                          
And never leave me alone to cry again
