Don'T Give Up

It's hard to be strong when you're judged everyday,
surrounded by insults every which way,
laughing and talking behind your back,
about all the things they think that you lack.

Pushing things you don't want to do,
backed down to nothing by the mean and their crew,
self esteem is at an ultimate low,
so confused you're not sure what you know.

With words that flow and burn like fire,
when evil doesn't care that it's a liar,
the rumors spread with everyone,
and tears fall for one battle not won.

But even after all this time,
no matter what they say, being different ain't a crime,
just try to keep your head held high,
don't give up on where your faith may lie.

You always see to make it through,
so help will come when your hope is true,
keep an open heart and clear mind,
because you never know what this life may find.
