To be misunderstood.

To be alone, misunderstood, not like everyone else.
Sounds like a song from the old days, it'll come to me.  I keep reading things like this, that people are misunderstood and dismissed until they hit it, and then they're geniuses.  I wonder how the numbers really work out.  To be outside the group is very painful.  It's in our DNA since being rejected from the group could have meant death in the old days.  No wonder it's so hard to really be different.  No wonder that it almost takes a mental health diagnosis category to be able to do it.
