You acted as if you were dumb
Just so you could be numb
Of all the hate that’s been thrown
Don’t you worry, soon you’ll be home
A long journey awaits you
The afterlife starts to knock
As if your life were already due
And towards it, you blindly walk
You start to collect anything sharp
As it made contact with the surface
Then you caress the wounded part
And thought “it’s the end of the race”
You hopelessly look around
With no hint of content
You sigh and look to the ground
Feeling like an awful accident
Even if you think
That you don’t deserve to see another sunrise
And even if you feel like you’re on a brink
Please don’t fill your head with lies
Don’t ever say that you’re not enough
Just because you feel alone
Deep inside, I know you’re tough
And you could survive this on your own
Yes, the world may bring you down
And turn your smile into a frown
but never let it get your way
And eat you up like a prey
I’ll willingly help you to put out the ember
And detach from the past
So you’ll never remember
What it’s like being an outcast
