When it's pitch black in the mind

Seeking.

Looking for something?
You're afraid of something, I know so.
It's the one thing I always know,
People's greatest fears:

Yours is that no one will ever believe in you.
And worst of all, you're afraid 
you'll never know why.

Why you? Why were you chosen
to be like this?
Everything you wanted to know,
in this little box.

Why did you end up like this,
unseen?
Unable to reach out to anyone?
You want the answers so badly
you want to grab them
and fly off with them
But you are afraid:

Afraid of what they will think
Afraid of disappointing them
But ease your mind about one thing
they will never accept you, not really
after all, you are not one of them.

You don't know what I am!
Of course I do.
You make a mess wherever you go.
Why, you're doing it right now.
What did you do?
More to the point, Jack,
What did you do!?


Disbelieving.

I thought this might happen
they never really believed in you.
I was just trying to show you that.
But I understand.
You don't understand anything!
No!? I don't understand 
what it's like to be outcast?
to not be believed in?
to long for a family?

All those years in the shadows, I thought
no one else knows what this feels like.
But now I see I was wrong
You don't have to be alone.
I believe in you and
I know children will too
Look what together we can do.

No! That's not what I want!
And for the last time,
Leave me alone!

Very well, you want
to be left alone.
Done! But first, - - -*
