• They taunt and laugh every time I walk
    When I try to talk they cover me with chalk
    They call me many name fat, ugly, stupid, worthless, loser
    When I try to be friendly they shave my head with a razor

    Every waking day they try to torment me
    All I hear from them is blasphemy
    And if destroying my confidence isn’t enough
    Embarrassing me to the world just to have a laugh

    Every day I wake up with a feeling of regret
    All I ever wanted is to forget
    The suffering on not believing on oneself
    The turmoil of not knowing yourself

    I hope to make friends
    On the other side of the fence
    Friends that I can rely
    Not acquaintances who are sly

    I wish everyday was my last
    But I know it will soon be the past
    I know if I can endured
    My life will be assured

    To have friends everywhere I look
    And avoid enemies and crook
    Well this all I can tell you for now
    Because I am ready to take my bow

    For everybody who feels the same
    Please don't be ashamed
    You are not alone in walking this path
    And if you ever needed me I'll give you a pat
