The idiot

I was an idiot,
Who cares for others
Who smiles for others
Spending time for nothing but to be with others
Still faces neglect
Heart wishes to be with a best friend
To get an acceptance for first in life
I thought i was lucky
Later revealed I was nothing to be known
I played the joker, shared the movements
I was ignorant to think from the other side
Tried to teach my heart Don't be too much
But eventually failed at it
From the child to the boy
I was alone and felt a threat to others
Overlooked by more accepted by a bit
It hurts to the core
The teacher told me to smile,
I fell for his words and started to glow
Hatred started to grow, pushing me back to the corner
Yet i tried my best to be a phoenix.
Still faced a fruitless
From whom i cared the most
From the people i smiled at
Maybe this is a wandering thought.
Forgive me my soul,
It was my silliness that i hurt you
I was a fool to know the reality
Which i known it was real
But i am a boy who doesn't to be accepted in hearts
People love me, But i feel sense of pressure from it
Forcing me to run from their grips
Hurting their heart for their gentle care
I am afraid to be with a friend who doesn't know me well.
Oh the creator, protect this device
Before getting Hara-kiri
Dark spread in my sea
Turning me into a floating soul
The earth shattering pain,
Gives a chilling to the backbone
Forcing me to stop the smile
exacting me to turn back
Please forgive me for my idiocy
Unable to understand you well
Me as a little brother from a green soul,
Wants to cry to heal the undeserving feelings.
