Wintering in December

Misunderstood and misbegotten
The very hallmarks of being forgotten

I realize it is very hard to care
If everyday I sink into despair
It is hard to tell me that I am a burden
Of this I know and that I am certain
I fear to be alone and to live in grief
To try to atone and have little relief
I am scared to be abandoned and I am afraid
So I yell and scream and push you away
I forget about others and live in my pain
I am selfish beyond measure, and find you to blame
And I know it is wrong when all you want to do
Is bring me peace, and me back to you.

Misunderstood and misbegotten
The very hallmarks of being forgotten
