My Time

With every whisper With every stare I feel my skin crawling It isn't fair All I've ever wanted Was to just fit in Be one of the cool ones For just one day Instead of losing For once just win You make it so hard to live life day to day But not in this moment You won't get in my way This is my time to rise up To shine in the light For once upon a time All in my world is right So take a seat and shut your mouth Watch as the bullied learn to speak out.
