"Our Deepest Fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure"


Miss Understood I can see in your eyes
Better days that haven't arrived
And on your skin I can see
How hope struggled to survive
And I know you feel dead inside
Although you are still alive

No boy can steal your heart
If there is nothing to steal
You can't feel anything inside
If there is nothing to feel

The world as you know it
Will never be the same
If you were called by what you feel inside
You wouldn't have a name

Miss Understood I can see in your eyes
Better days that haven't arrived
And on your skin I can see how hope
struggled to survive
And I know you feel dead inside
Although you are still alive

I know you must feel
that nobody cares at all
Like a tree in autumn
It doesn't care if one of its brightest leaves fall
Another one will just take its place
And I know you must feel
Nobody will ever remember your face

But Miss Understood I will remember
You must be wondering to yourself
How can I remember a face that I never saw
Well I am part of the same tree
I was a leaf on the same branch
Miss Understood I watched you fall

Miss Understood look into my eyes
See the better days that will arrive
On my skin you can see the hope
that struggled to survive
But no longer do I feel dead inside
I am happy that I am alive

Miss Understood
Please take my hand
I promise I will never let you go
I will always be here for you
I just want to let you know
Take my hand
Miss Understood
Where you are coming from
I Understand


The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece because of a friend. She has been feeling depressed lately and feels as if nobody cares. But I do. And for any other "Miss Understood's" out there, I hope that you will be able to relate to the lyrics. I have a deep appreciation for girls and their feelings so most of what I write is aimed at trying to give girls the strength to be themselves and carry on when they feel all hope is lost. This is from the heart and I hope that anyone who reads this will be able to relate. Thanks for reading.
