Casualty of Society

Was it wrong of me,
To endure this for so long?
I'm attempting to pick up the pieces,
Only to watch them fall apart again,
I've worked so hard,
Just to see my efforts become meaningless,
It seems that since I've left,
Everything has changed so dramatically,
And now I'm all alone,
That line grows so old,
I'm almost twenty-three,
And at this point in life,
I had hoped I'd find my one true love,
So that I could live happily,
To share my world so that I'm not so alone,
So that I'd have true support,
But deception is the name of the game,
I don't know what's real and what's not,
And I fear anything that means everything is a lie,
I try to always speak my mind,
But I'm judged before I'm even done,
This same old routine is slowly killing me,
I survive just for a break away from this tyranny,
I'm surrounded by so many people,
But I'm isolated at the same time,
Where I am,
People don't give you the time of day,
I'm just another stupid Yankee,
Not from this military town,
My ideas seem obscene,
My thoughts buried deep within the ground,
Say what you mean and mean what you say,
What am I working towards?
Do I always have to start over,
I've been at this too long to fail,
Giving up is all I want to do,
Because I'm tired of wasted efforts,
What's the point anyway?
There is no future for me in this country,
I'll just be another casualty of society.
