Let me tell you about how I feel,
I promise not to bore you,
If you promise to let me heal.
I've been bullied,
Attacked,
Ridiculed,
Hated,
Pushed to the breaking point,
Because of the words that have been stated.

I've been shunned and ashamed,
Labelled with names,
That do not justify who I am,
I have been ignored and refused,
And verbally abused
By people who I thought would understand.

Am I a part of collateral damage?
Another scar from stereotypical carnage?
The bullets took off,
But yet you all forgot,
About the boy who took every single shot.
I told you I'm fine,
Because after all I'm defined
To act like nothing has happened.

You're probably thinking,
Wow this screams for attention,
But if that thought crossed your mind,
You're in serious need of a certain lesson.

I don't expect you to change your ways,
But to consider the way you behave,
Towards a person who wants to feel alive,
But struggles to breathe because they're hurting inside.

This is the story of a boy who cried help,
Built to be destroyed by a world who made him hate himself.

I smiled, you frowned,
Our hearts hit the ground,
And now we are far apart,
You cried, I sighed,
Our souls are tied,
But still we question why.

Never say
I let you stray,
That was your own choice,
Never tell
Me you fell,
It was all the lies from your voice.

I jumped, you screamed,
But you were mean,
And now I was falling fast,
You yelled, I cursed,
My heart has burst
And we knew it would never last.

Can't buy
All the lies,
You are trying to sell,
Can't escape,
When you're awake,
My wings are clipped and now I'm in Hell.

Never say this is goodbye,
Never ask me why I ran,
Never look for me when I hide,
Never stop me when I make a stand.
