Here I am again
The center of attention
But for the wrong reasons
I really have to mention
“Hey you- standing there
Just tell us all right now!
Tell us all, what’s your deal!”
But I don’t know how
None of you here
Understand me
But neither do I
I’m a self-mystery
I’m tires of their stares
Always weighing me down
I can never live my life
With these people around
My life’s put under a microscope
For everyone to see
Sure, they see my oddities
But never the real me
The only thing I ever did
Was try to be unique
That’s what our parents taught us
But not what people seek
But when I chose upon myself
That this was who I am
Apparently no one agreed
But I didn’t give a [damn]
And so they gathered me
And pushed me on the stage
They tricked me to come over
Expecting outward rage
But I was left emotionless
Simply ‘cause that’s me
They thought I was an outcast
But I never would agree
The entire school assembled
That Thursday afternoon
And shouted words of anger
“Evil!” “Weirdo!” “Loon!”
The more they poked and prodded
The more they said and asked
Kept driving me on
Until I was unmasked
I just started talking
All about myself
Melancholy, suicidal,
Razor blades, and strife
Between my parents’ arguments
That I fell are my fault
And the bashings and the thrashings
And emotional assaults
My self-esteem is faded
But no one sees that deep
No one ever looks beyond
The appearance that I keep
I am just a dab of black
In a splash of white and pink
So if I were to disappear
No one would even blink
As my true feelings all
Are spilling out of me
Everyone is listening
And sorry, I can see
And now they don’t all treat me
Like a horrible disease
Since they know what’s going on
There’s a pleasant sort of ease
In fact, I found that some
Are very much like this
Opening up myself could start
A future filled with bliss
