I remember the first day, I walked into class,
At seven years old saying "This will be a blast!"
The classroom was full, the bell did ring
Lessons being taught, so it begins
Recess starts, the teams are split
Standing alone, the last one picked
Slowly it starts, as laughter and fun
but deep inside, I am seeing no sun
The nicknames had started, not laughing inside
but what did I do, starting to cry
Never belonging or being accepted
being myself, I felt dissected
From 2nd to 3rd and up into 8th grade
the bullies got worse, fearing into fade
Freshman to Senior, I thought I was stronger
Hitting my point, it started to boil over
It was one little word that threw me over the edge
Couldn't take it no more, all that was said
I stood up to the bully, on that great day,
all was released, feeling no shame
But it doesn't stop there, the torment goes on
At night, I dont sleep, I just sing a song
That song never ends, forever on that round
it never skips a beat, listen to the sound
Decades goes on, never forgetting the names
What has happened to me? Am I going insane?
These are the first names that tortured my young soul
Always in my mind, but never letting go
So Danny, Robert, Terry and Andy
You are not very special or very well dandy!
Oh Michael and Chuck and Bill, I remember
stand up to call, hell is your number
Chris, Steven, and even Brad
Life's but a mystery, so why are you so sad
I tried to forgive you deep in my heart
Why did you bully me? TEARING MY WORLD APART!!
