this is about my school life and how others treat me.
I’m right next to you,
So why do you never see me?
Are you truly that blind to my feelings?
Am I nothing more than a shadow to you?
Do I even matter to you?
Do you even care about me?
You know what-
I’m just going to say this to your face,
I’m standing right here-
Right behind your back.
I’m right here.
I hear what you say.
Don’t act dumb,
Word gets around.
Those things you say-
You may think I never hear them-
You’d be surprised how fast word travels.
Why do you judge me so-
When you don’t even truly know me?
Have I done anything worthy of this?
Why am I always the invisible one?
You say I’m not invisible,
You try to make me feel better,
I know those words are false.
I know the things you say-
The things you say when you think I’m not looking.
You call me a freak.
You call me a dork.
Yeah, I know what you say-
Don’t act innocent.
To you I’m one of two things-
I’m either invisible or simply a freak without feelings-
Not worthy of praise.
I hate it when you act like I can’t add up to what you can.
The way anything you do I half to do twice as good-
To be considered half as good.
Well you know what?
I’m sick and tired of it.
In junior high cruelty might put you on top-
But in reality you need more than attitude to get by.
One of these days you’re going to wake up-
And you’ll regret this.
One of these days-
You’ll wake up to reality.
If you were the cruel one you can’t handle true cruelness.
What if I were to do the same?
How would you react?
Would you dismiss it?
What if I said ‘just joking’-
Would that make you feel better?
You say ‘I’m sorry’
You think you understand.
You don’t-
You don’t know what it’s like to live every day-
Every day under this cruelness-
Live under it and pretend it doesn’t hurt you.
Don’t say you do-
That would just be another lie!
I’m right next to you-
So why do you never see me?
